Eve hated the meetings she was forced to attend if she wanted to keep her job. She had been attending them for about six months and they weren't getting any easier. Telling strangers about her life and abusive ex-husband. Memories she wants to forget. Especially since having a mental break wasn't what she needed as a detective.
Olivia and Lydia beg her to come out with them for a drink to celebrate another meeting being over. They had heard of the Club Velvet Petal but hadn't been. A night out dancing wasn't what she wanted, but the girls finally got her to agree when she couldn't find an excuse they would accept especially since they knew that her nephew was having a sleepover and she wasn't needed at home.
They are heading for a table tucked away in the corner when a tall man steps in their way, demanding they follow him. He refused to answer why and what they had done wrong since they had just walked in the door. The bouncer escorted them to a room down a narrow corridor and shut the door, locking them in.
She has to step back from the door she had been banging on when another man steps in the room. He is slightly older and a very handsome man. A memory tugs at her when she realizes she knows him. And then it hits her. She had gone on several dates with him before moving to Columbus. More confusing than seeing a man who had ghosted her months before was Olivia's response to seeing him. Nervously telling him that she didn't want any trouble and wouldn't have come if she knew it was his club.
Ezekiel was looking at the last one he wanted in his club. The woman he disappeared on as soon as he realized she was a cop. Having her in his club puts her in danger and he needs to make sure to get her out before his clientele see her and she finds out the reason he ghosted her.
I loved this book! It is very well written and the characters are fully developed and relatable. Eve moved to another town to escape an abusive ex and take care of her orphaned nephew. Never expecting to run into the man who had ghosted her after their amazing time together. Now her life is in more danger when she is recognized as an undercover detective.
This book is action-packed and full of danger. Ezekiel is trying to keep Eve safe without her finding out about his criminal life. Despite their burning chemistry having her in his life can mean nothing but danger for Eve. Highly recommend this dark romance.
