Publisher Description

After a life of pool hustling and living on the wrong side of the law, Ruby Elliott is living on the straight and narrow with sexy-as-all-hell NYPD detective, Troy Bennett.

Now the only trouble Ruby has with the law is the naughty kind, pinned against the wall by Troy's strict and spectacularly hard body. Obeying his every command. Both of them losing themselves in a lust that borders on obsession....

But then her father returns with an offer she can't refuse: one last hustle in exchange for information. Information she'd die to have.

As the pieces and the players of the game reveal themselves, Troy feels the fine edges of his control slipping—control he can't channel without hurting Ruby. The stakes are high, and the risk higher.

Because losing this final game could cost more than Ruby's heart…it might cost her life.

Each book in the Crossing the Lines series is a standalone, full-length story that can be enjoyed out of order.
