About this book
Warning - Contains Adult Content. Colin Carmichael, notorious gangster and diamond thief, made one fatal mistake. On his last heist, he double-crossed his partners, keeping the haul for himself. His gang took their revenge. But the diamonds were never found. Now his son, Jasper Carmichael, has cut ties with his criminal past to create an ever-growing property empire. But Jasper is his father’s son, and violence and lust run hot in his blood. When his path crosses with the beautiful florist Kate Reynolds, he wants her instantly, and Jasper Carmichael gets what he wants. The cut-throat world of business is as treacherous as the criminal underworld, and when rumour spreads that Jasper has Colin Carmichael's long-lost diamonds, the gangs Jasper thought he'd escaped prove they are far from done with him. With enemies on all sides, Jasper can trust no one, not even his oldest friends. No one except Katie, if he can let himself love her.
