The Things We Do in the Dark

Just when Kara Blake thought her life couldn't possibly get any worse, she wakes in the middle of the night to a strange man standing over her bed. After being drugged and interrogated, she learns that her mother's fame and fortune had come at a cost. That cost was a debt to the King Crime Family, notorious in New York City, and Hayden King himself has come to collect.

Though Kara is his captive, held until her mother's debt is paid, she can't resist being drawn to him. Hayden isn't anything like what she expected from a crime lord, and neither is his world. Kara soon finds herself falling for him and the city she's sworn to hate. But Hayden has secrets. Why did he really kidnap her, and what does he want from her mother? Are her feelings even real or is it all a manipulation to keep her from trying to escape? It's only when the truth begins to unravel that Kara realizes...

There are things you can't hide, even in the dark.
