The present and future are always in motion and you can't hide from either of them.

Bryony
Five years ago I drove away from my birthday party, my father, and his mafia organization. I've been living off the grid in Moab, Utah. When my father is brutally killed, I am suddenly a wanted woman by various entities, the Feds, the Cartel, my father's odious second-in-command, and the head of the Gateway Syndicate, Nolan Hamilton, none of them good.

First, I decide to trade what I know to the Feds for protection. Until it turns out the agent in charge is on the Cartel's payroll. Before he can deliver me to them, I get away and run to the only man powerful enough to keep me and my people safe... Nolan.

Nolan
The head of the Rust Belt Syndicate, has been murdered. His only heir is missing. Everyone, including myself, wants to find her. All of us want to take control of the once prosperous territory.

Then the sexy, curvy Bryony shows up on my doorstep asking for sanctuary. There are many reasons to force her to become my mate?her father's organization, thwarting the Feds, taking on the Cartel, but the most compelling reason is she is my fated mate.
