About this listen
Abandoned at birth and a loner all her life, Dakota Sinclair had no ties, no history, and maybe no future, which made her an ideal asset for the super-secret world security organization that didn't even have the benefit of an acronym. Being a superb triathlete, multilingual, and of African American and Native American ancestry made her an invaluable resource, as she could infiltrate groups in the Middle East, North Africa, Central or South America, or any country of color. Although skilled in a thousand ways to silently kill or capture, she never learned how to protect herself from a man like Ambassador Jefferson Alden Logan.
Jefferson Logan often had the weight of the world on his broad shoulders, and an unfaithful and bipolar wife who made him pay dearly for his dedication to duty. What he did not need now was more grief from his wife's rich and powerful family over the custody of his three young sons. Even less attractive was a challenge from a woman he could neither possess nor control. Not getting what he wanted and needed in his private life was rare...and this was definitely one of those times when he would stop at nothing to have the elusive and mysterious Dakota Sinclair.
A plot to capture and kill the Ambassador involved the safety of people both Dakota and Jefferson held dear.

Story
Years ago, a fight for supremacy took place between the two most powerful families in New Orleans. The battle was set in the metaphoric octagon, with the spotlight blazing. The city sat in paralyzed fear, awaiting word of a victor. Abraham Rames versus Isaiah Boudreau. One man would emerge victorious and rule the city of sin. Neither understood that the devil was in the details. Neither lived to see the rising sun. I’m Everett Rames, son of Abraham, and I am the devil. I took my rightful place as king of New Orleans.

In the real world there was no way flower shop owner Kylie Hagan would ever meet up with millionaire Chance Steele. But the world of single parents and teenage hormones brought them together the first time - and a simmering passion they both tried to deny wouldn't keep them apart for long. Chance made her think of hot, sultry Southern nights. Kylie had him imagining satin sheets and soul-stirring kisses. But in the cold light of day, they had to resist each other. There was no way they’d let uncontrollable desire ignite their carefully protected hearts.
