Marcus found he had some genuine talent for the job his father had groomed him for with the cartel. Though he was a large and imposing man, his real talent was crunching numbers and managing the billions of dollars a year that ran through their huge operation. Men in his line of work drew interest from all the wrong types of women. Marcus was no different. Women who loved sex and money were his typical playmates. That was fine by him, because everyone knew the score. Meeting Mariah had thrown him for a tail spin. She was stunningly beautiful and feisty as hell. He’d been immediately drawn to her. The fact that she wanted nothing to do with him sent his predatory instincts into action. The chase was on and Marcus was not used to losing. Mariah wasn’t quite stupid enough to think getting involved with a member of the country’s biggest drug cartel was good decision. She quickly determined her new life’s ambition was to stay out of the domineering gangster’s clutches. He was hotter than sin, but no good could come from sampling his sexy goods.
