New Orleans is buzzing with gossip about the cop and her mobster boyfriend, but Cee Cee and Max don’t care. Not until her partner on the force threatens to out Max’s deadly secret to save his own career. Cee Cee is caught between a man whose integrity she relies on and the reformed outlaw who has become her obsession.

When a vicious serial killer kidnaps a fellow cop’s daughter, she and her partner must go undercover together—which nearly sends Max over the edge. Returning to his criminal roots may be the only way to get Cee Cee’s attention, and Max is willing to take a gamble. But when she asks him to revisit his dark past, she crosses a line that could mean solving her case…but sacrificing her supernatural lover.
