The New York Times bestselling author of the Out of Line Novels takes readers to Boston, where one gang of criminals knows how being bad can be so good…
She knows what he’s like on Boston’s mean streets. Now she’s going to find out if he’s got some heart.
Lucas Donahue is not ashamed of his criminal past, but after a brief stint in prison, he’s ready to go legit and live a normal life. The problem is, no one leaves the gang without permission—even if he is one of the boss’s top men. Plus someone’s placed a hit on him. And then there’s that feisty little bartender who’s going to cause him even more trouble.
Heidi Greene knows to keep her distance from a ladies’ man like Lucas—even if she can’t keep her eyes off him. When he rescues her from an attack in the alley outside her bar, she’s forced to stay by his side for safety. But the longer she spends time with him, the greater her chances are for getting hurt in more ways than one.
Big bad Lucas shows his soft side for Heidi…

Heidi,
I was writing to tell you how much you mean to
Screw that. You know how much you mean to me. I tell you every day.
Instead, how about this?
I swear I’ll always put you first, and never take you for granted. I’ll never stop offering you my coat, or opening doors for you, and I’ll sure as hell never stop walking you to work every day, or keeping you safe from all the messed up shit out there.
You saved my life, because you are my life.
Happy Valentine’s Day, sweetheart.
Lucas
