In Texas, what makes a man become a king is money. Loyalty can be bought. Trust can be broken. And architect Jackson Rollins knows it can all be stolen. Growing up a thief, he took what he wanted-until a single misstep put him behind bars. Paying his debt to society with a pound of flesh, a pint of blood, and enough penance to last an eternity, he swore to rebuild and conquer. Now that his brotherhood's company, Pharaoh Construction, is caught in a property dispute between two powerful bloodlines, Jackson needs one hell of an ally. She's never wanted for anything. Enter Daisy Odair, the prodigal daughter of the family that threatens Pharaoh's contract to restore a scandal-drenched mansion. A sheltered woman of privilege, she's never encountered a man like Jackson. The brutality in his past warns her to handle him with caution. The coarse desire between them melts her inhibitions and tests her judgment. Bound by fragile family ties, Daisy must do whatever it takes to claim the estate-even if it means opening her body and soul to her rival…and gutting him in the end.
