Frankie Baxter knows what it means to lose everything. Because once upon a time, she did. And being the oldest daughter of a mafia Don means going nowhere unguarded. Too bad she's run off anyone who might stand a chance at keeping her safe. Now, even a quiet night out with her girlfriends requires she spend some quality time under the watchful eye of the last remaining bodyguard willing to risk his neck to babysit, her ex-best friend, Charlie Morrow. The only man on Earth who seems to delight in pushing every single one of her buttons. Not that any of that matters, though, when one of the Five Families, a rival organization hellbent on a hostile takeover of her father's territory, comes for her, forcing her and Charlie to head to the one place nobody is brave enough to attack: her grandmother's house. Five days. One impromptu road trip. A mountain of secrets. And sexual tension so blistering it threatens to scar whoever makes the first move. Of course, unlocking the vault of whispered conversations and previously classified family lore isn't all it's cracked up to be for Frankie. Especially when her best friend, turned enemy, turned lover, is a werewolf who's been keeping her at arm's length for her own safety. Turns out a night with the big bad wolf never looked so good.
