[Bennett Dynasty 01] • Rotten Apple

**He’s a by-the-book kind of guy, and she’s a lawbreaker at heart.**

**Gwen Bennett**

As an operative with a hidden talent, I know how to keep my clients safe. It’s ingrained in my unusual DNA, and I’m damn good at my job.

So, when a thief swindles my grandmother out of a fortune and flees to a private island that’s by invite only, I’m determined to find access, even if that means taking a job I don’t want for a family I’d rather avoid.

**Maxwell Pierce**

She needs me.

There’s desperation in her eyes.

I have something she wants.

And I know it.

When my brother sends me to recruit Gwen Bennett for a job after she’s turned him down, I thought it would be more difficult to make a deal. Offering to share my island suite and my bed was more than enough to get her to agree. Now I just need to get her to realize that my sister's life is on line and that's worth more than any money she can hope to recoup.

**They’ll have to get creative to keep from losing it all when lives, a family fortune, and their hearts hang in the balance.**
