Bishop

"The more I hang around and learn about Piper the more I start to want things. Things I promised myself to never want." Growing up in the mafia and becoming the Don of his family, Maddox Bishop vowed to make Vegas a better place by ridding the world of its scum, which left no room for things like love. That is, until he meets Piper Caldwell. A bright and shining light in his otherwise dark and dreary existence, he finds himself drawn to her and unable to think of anything else. Independent and sassy, she pushes all his buttons, but can he convince her to give him a chance? Could a woman like her ever accept his lifestyle and all the things that come with it? One thing is for sure and that is he will do whatever it takes to make that happen. "You've always been on your own and not needed anyone. Rob and Oliver are the only attachments you need. Your wants and hopes are never going to happen. He will only break us." Piper Caldwell had big dreams when she graduated college, but when tragedy struck she gave up those dreams to come home. Juggling jobs just to make ends meet, Piper only has herself to rely on, so when Maddox Bishop shows up and threatens to turn her carefully curated life upside down, there is no one more resistant than her. A man of mystery and secrets, he is everything she promised herself never to need. But when a situation at work puts her in a volatile position where she has no choice but to ask for help, she must choose whether to put her life on the line to maintain her independence or give it all up and accept everything that Maddox has to offer.
