THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE BOOK - IT IS HIGHLY SUGGESTED
THAT YOU READ ALL THE PREVIOUS NOVELS AND NOVELLAS BEFORE STARTING THIS BOOK
Spencer Shrike is a
man with a plan. Get in. Get out. Move on. He loves Ron the Bomb, and her
safety is the only thing on his mind these days. But life is a tricky bastard,
and conning criminals for the better part of ten years brings its own set of
problems. Sure, Rook lied her way out of a sticky situation, covering for
crimes Ronin, Ford, and Spencer committed, and getting them all off scot-free
in the process.
But not everyone is buying Rook’s story, and Spencer is desperate to figure out who’s in town setting them up for a fall.
Veronica the Bombshell Vaughn has put up with Spencer Shrike’s shit for years and where has it gotten her? A big fat nowhere. No ring, no house, no kids, and no promises. In fact, Spencer is worse than ever—completely distant and moody. She’s done sitting at home, pining over a man she can’t have.
But she’s not opposed to fighting for him.
Ron the Bomb fights hard and she fights dirty, so she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get Spencer’s attention.
But now there’s another man in town with his eye on her. He’s got secrets too, but unlike Spencer, Bobby Mansi is more than willing to let Veronica in on them.
The entire Rook and Ronin series comes full circle. Every con, every lie, and every skeleton in the closet is back for one final shot at vengeance and the only way to set it right… is to get out the guns.

~Excerpt~
VERONICA
Spencer leans into my neck once the moan
subsides. “Do I make you hot?
I try to regain some semblance of
control, but I totally fail. So my words betray every
empty thought in my head when I whisper,
“I’m an insatiable inferno.”
His large hands stroke my calf, then he
grabs my foot and pushes it until my knee bends.
He does the same thing to my other foot,
and then grabs my panties and says, “Lift, please.”
I swallow and lift.
His fingertips drag down my outer thighs
this time, then tickle that little dent behind my knees as he hooks the panties
over my kneecaps and lets them drop to the ground on top of my feet.
I wait for him to finish what he started
and remove the panties from my ankles, but he doesn’t. He leaves them there, a
reminder that he just stripped them off me. God, that makes me wet for some
reason. His hands reach around to my bra clasp, and then before I can even
formulate how I might feel about being stripped of my last bit of clothing, my
breasts fall free and he licks his lips. He pulls the lacy pink bra down my
arms and I slip my hands out before he makes me keep
it on. I’m still thinking about the
panties around my ankles. Something about that is just so… so… sexual.
I wait. He waits.
“Now what?” I ask.
“What do you want to do now?” he
counters.
I reach down and slip the panties over my
feet and then set them on top of the small pile of clothes.
“And now you’re ready,” he whispers.
“What am I ready for?”
He gets up from the grass, grabs my
clothes, places them in the office, then drags his airbrush equipment over to
the spot where I’m sitting on the grass. “Now, I fuck you with paint.”
Holy shit. He just said that. I’m so
turned on, I’m starting to throb. He walks back over to the cart, tests the
flow of paint on a piece of cardboard, and then turns to me. “You will never
forget this day, Veronica Vaughn. For the rest of your life, whenever someone
asks you what the best day of your life was, this will be in your top three.”
“What about the other two?” I ask.
“We haven’t made those memories yet,
Bomb. But we will.”
