Publisher's summary

Affairs of the heart can be lethal in this sensual, action packed novel from New York Times bestselling author Eric Jerome Dickey.

As a low-level enforcer in Los Angeles, Ken Swift knows danger, but nowhere does he feel it more than in his tangled romances. Divorced from one woman, in love with another, and wrestling with a strong desire to get to know a third, his life is far from perfect, and it becomes all the more complicated when his troubled daughter resurfaces on the same day as a major job. Margaux is pregnant, bitter, and desperate: she needs $50,000 immediately, and she isn't above blackmailing Ken to get it. Yet even as the tension-filled father/daughter reunion escalates into a clashing of wills and desires that spread far beyond their family, Ken's latest contract spirals quickly out of control, and he finds it is not only his daughter looking to seek revenge.

With the strong characters, heart-pounding action, and intense passion he is known for, New York Times bestseller Eric Jerome Dickey lays bare a tale of lust and angst that will leave readers breathless.

Critic reviews

Writer and Narrator

Of course the book is awesome!!! Look who wrote it, but the voice of the narrator really brought the book to life!!! I’m a huge fan of Eric Jerome Dickey and now I’m a fan of Dion Graham because he read the heck out of this book!

EJD is my favorite author

LOVE the way this book flows so gracefully! Love the way he’s so descriptive that I am right there with the characters, experiencing things I’ve never felt in life. Love the political knowledge and info gained from listening. Didn’t want this book to end. Waiting for the next one.

Amazing

I loved this book. I laughed, I felt anger, I even looked at my coworkers with the side eye lol

Excellent book & listened to entire 38 Chapters.

I use my audioable books to listen while walking for exercise. You can forget your steps as the author captures your imagination❤ Best way to exercise and hand-free😍😊

Entangled with every chapter!

Loved the plot, the characters, loved the narration (performance)! Mr. EJD never fails to capture his audience and Mr. Dion Graham completely owned this narration as well as the sequel “Before We Were Wicked”!

This Story was better!

This story was so much better than the first one....I felt like Ken was too soft in book 0....He allowed his love to overrule rational thinking.

awesome story

I love Eric Jerome Dickey, his stories are very entertaining and knowledgeable. I learn of new places and cultures from each one I have read and listened too

loved it

I've read a lot of Eric Jerome the he's books and Ive enjoyed them all this one kept me interested . I read the first book I was disappointed until I found out there was a second and it was worth every moment always a good read I enjoy his books so much

Slow start, but the take off is 'REAL'!!!!

I am a big fan of EJD. some may argue that he is overly descriptive, but I love his ability to paint pictures for me. Often when I read his work a movie plays before my eyes. I will say that it did take some time to get to the action, but when it got there it did not lack. This read also touched on the injustices that are plaguing the U.S. today. Although the ending was solid there is room to make this a series. EJD, please keep me posted on these characters!!!!
