Overview: Theo Mckinnon is a ruthless mafia leader and would do anything to maintain control of his city. Power is the only thing he is concerned about. That is, until he meets Meredith Clarke a naive teacher. Theo is determined to do anything to crack her icy walls but just when he does, their tragic intertwined past proves to be a hurdle neither of them are sure they can surpass
He sinks into a leather armchair, absently swirling his liquor as possibilities run through his mind. She was lovely, certainly, with creamy skin offset by that cascade of chestnut hair. But Theo had known many beautiful women without losing his head. No, it was something less tangible… An innate defiance that flashed in those emerald eyes. The steel in her spine when she perceived the subtle taunt in his words.
Yes, Theo realized with dawning revelation that he was drawn to Meredith precisely because she was *not* drawn to him. She was unlike the sycophants and hangers-on that usually flocked around him, vying endlessly for his wealth and status.
This woman wanted nothing from him. In fact, she had rebuffed his attempts at charm without a second thought. Theo was utterly unused to that. He did not tolerate insolence or rejection. Yet coming from Meredith, that aloof disinterest only increased his longing to possess her.
To make that fierce, lovely creature want him as profoundly as he suddenly, inexplicably wanted her. Theo knew it was reckless to pursue someone so closely tied to his treacherous rival, Victor. But he’d never backed down from danger yet. And Meredith, he suspected, would prove the sweetest danger of all.
Yes, he mused with growing conviction. She was a risk worth taking. And Theo vowed in that moment to make the mysterious Meredith his, no matter the cost.
