Logan Lawson is the youngest of the tough Lawson men. He has always seemed like the fun Uncle, brilliant numbers man, and the Lawson most respectable. But now we see into his own checkered past as it collides with his present in the form of one Mafia Princess, Aster Rose Costa Urso. 

Their young love was powerful, but ended in a series of tragic events and confusion and pain on both sides. Seven years later, he gets a bit of revenge and engineers a way to keep her at least temporarily. But they have to wade through layers of hurt, misunderstandings, mistrust, secrets, and lies as well as deal with the threats surrounding them. Her family cannot be held off indefinitely and they will have to find a way to deal with their biggest enemy before he gets the upper hand. 

Love. Heartbreak. Hate. Lust. Longing. Logan and Aster's relationship is a mix of history and young love, passion, shared pain, and new mature love. Their chemistry is undeniable. Their hearts have always been joined, but choices and circumstances ripped them apart and made them doubt the other. And they have lied to each other and themselves for years as self-protection and to sacrifice for the other one. But now they have something that they have not had in years...hope. 

This is an emotional, intense, passionate, enemies-to-lovers, second chance love story with two people mixed up in a dangerous world. They have to fight their own biases from the past, fight their own negative feelings, fight for a new chance with each other, and fight anyone who comes for them. Logan might be the most respectable Lawson brother but he is not afraid to fight hard and dirty if he needs to. 

This is a long story that spans years. The Lawson brothers and their lady posse and cute kids are all back. I love seeing how they stand by each other. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
