    About this ebook

    Word is out Katerina Savalas has found a map that leads to a long-lost Union shipment of gold. She can't take the chance of someone breaking into her home again. So she decides to hire a washed-up Circle operative to protect her home.

     

    Jack Drago wants to be left alone in his drunken misery. When he receives an unusual offer from Katerina, he accepts. What red-blooded heterosexual male with a death wish can turn down a chance to have a mob boss's daughter in his bed?

    Carla Swafford

    Carla Swafford loves romance novels, action/adventure movies, and men, and her books reflect that. And on top of it all, she's crazy about hockey, and thankfully, no one has made her turn in her Southern Belle card. So, it's no surprise she writes spicy romantic suspense filled with mercenaries, motorcycle one-percenters, and southern criminals. And in the last few years, she's included sexy hockey players in books without suspense, except for the kind that asks, how will they ever find their happily ever after? Married to her high school sweetheart, she lives in the Southeast U.S. To find out more about Carla, be sure to visit her Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok pages or join her newsletter on her website.
