Part of Torpedo Ink, book 9
First published 2024
Azelie Vargas works at a local coffee shop in San Francisco where a mysterious stranger has become a regular customer. The man is tall, dark, and muscular with striking silver eyes. He doesn't just look at her. He tells her exactly what he wants to do with her in explicit detail. She knows she should be offended, but instead she finds herself wanting to say yes to everything he suggests. The stranger is Andrii "Maestro" Federoff, a member of the Torpedo Ink motorcycle club. He's in San Francisco on official business. The club needs information to take down a human trafficking operation, and Maestro believes Azelie might be connected. After weeks of watching her, he still can't determine if she's directly involved or simply works for dangerous people. Either way, he needs to get close to her quickly to learn the truth. What starts as calculated deception becomes something real. But when Azelie discovers Maestro's true motives, their intense connection may not survive his betrayal.
