His only cost - three favors of his choosing...Entangled in the sensual web that Gabriel spins, and cut from society, Marietta knows it would be folly to fall for him. Yet, even as she swears against it, Marietta is the moth to his flame. Gabriel finds satisfaction unwrapping the sexual edges of his amusing, tart-tongued partner and watching her bloom. However, her brother's case takes a gut wrenching turn when Gabriel recognizes all of the victims her brother is accused of murdering. All tied indelibly to Gabriel's sordid past. Between juggling the police, saving Marietta's brother, and hiding his past - both from Marietta and society - every action becomes fraught with peril and keen with betrayal. And falling in love may be the worst danger of them all.
