Overview

Forensic accountant Adrian Sterling has built his reputation on one simple rule: follow the numbers, expose the truth, walk away clean. When a federal task force hires him to unravel the Valente family's financial empire, it should be just another case.

Until he meets Damon Cross.

The Valente family's financial strategist is everything Adrian should avoid—brilliant, dangerous, and magnetic enough to make him question every principle he's ever lived by. But when Adrian's investigation uncovers secrets that certain people would kill to protect, the hunter becomes the hunted.

Now Adrian faces an impossible choice: expose the truth and destroy the man he's falling for, or protect Damon and become a target himself.

In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal means death, some gambles are worth everything.

Welcome to the Blood Oath Bargains series, where love is the most dangerous vow of all.
This prequel novella sets up the explosive events of the main series. No cliffhangers, complete story, but you'll be dying to know what happens to the Valente family next.
