PLAYING FOR KEEPS (The Callahan Chronicles #1)

Revenge was the plan. Falling for him was never part of the deal.

Riley Wilder is a broke waitress with one mission: destroy Dominic Callahan, the ruthless mafia boss she blames for her brother’s death. Armed with nothing but her stubborn streak and questionable life choices, she storms into Dom’s world, determined to expose his sins.

But here’s the problem: Dom isn’t just dangerous—he’s devastatingly irresistible. Cold, calculating, and absurdly gorgeous, he makes her heart race for all the wrong reasons. And when he catches her snooping in his business, he doesn’t kill her. No, he hires her instead.

Now, Riley is tangled in a deadly game she doesn’t understand, working for a man she swore to hate but can’t seem to resist. The deeper she digs, the more secrets she uncovers, and the closer she gets to Dom... and to danger.

Because Dom Callahan doesn’t trust easily. But when he does, he doesn’t just protect—he claims.

In a world of power, betrayal, and twisted alliances, Riley must decide: will she bring him down or let herself fall?

He’s the villain in her story, but he just might be her only way out.

Readers of dark romance, enemies-to-lovers, and forbidden love won’t be able to put this down. Get ready for danger, drama, and a love story like no other!
