[Cane 02] • Devious Eyes

"You think I’m a hooker?"

The fiercely brooding guy I met at the bar needed to check his asshole behaviour. Still, he fast turned into the distraction I needed from my life. But it wasn’t romance. Couldn’t be. Running was my MO. This time I'm hiding in paradise, hoping I can stay alive, and trying to ignore the one person I’ve never been able to — my brother.

The problem is, I didn't know who Nate Cane really was, and I didn’t know what was coming for me either.

“You try it again, and I’m done.”

That's what I said to my brother when he challenged me. I meant every damn word. This time it’s my rules. My life. My game.

Screw loyalty.

But the woman I met at that bar hid her devious eyes from me. She wasn’t who I thought, and life has a way of determining your future, no matter the odds. Gabriella Alves might have started as a calculated fling — dirty, far from innocent, and mine — but then hell came after her and invaded my world. And a Cane always protects what’s his.

Odds be damned.

Loyalty. Family. Dark. Erotic. Romance.
