Little Death -- Nicole Blanchard, Paperback

I should have known better than to play games with dangerous men.

Crashing a masquerade party for the most elite members of New Orleans was supposed to give me answers, not put me in the sights of the Irish mafia's most enigmatic enforcer, Aiden O'Connor.

But when one reckless gamble binds me to him for a night, I learn too late that some wagers can't be won.

What begins as a game spirals into obsession, temptation, and ruin.

Because Aiden doesn't just want control for one night-he wants to break me in ways I'll never escape unscathed.
