   Summary

   Anthony Lockwood is a mob boss with a solid criminal enterprise under his thumb. He's secure in his world, until Lucy Carlyle is dumped in his sitting room and he can't figure out what the fuck he's supposed to do with her.

   Lucy Carlyle has been in London two years and is engaged to police detective Paul Bell. But when Paul kidnaps mobster Anthony Lockwood's childhood friend, Lucy is taken hostage in exchange. And now she's stuck in Lockwood's house until further notice. It's too bad she might be falling for him - hard.
