Keller

I run the Stone family’s most dangerous operation. Money. Secrets. Men who don’t know when to walk away. When my father dies, chaos follows. Everyone smells blood in the water. Rival gambling families circle my tables, trying to steal my players. The Feds circle me, convinced I’m about to slip. They’re not wrong. I live on the edge of legality and lean hard into the parts that aren’t. Then she walks into my line of fire. She’s smart. Controlled. Watching me like she already knows I’m guilty of something. An officer assigned to dismantle my world piece by piece. She should be untouchable. Off-limits. A liability I erase before she becomes a problem. Instead, I make her one. I tell myself it’s just attraction. Just tension. Just another bad decision in a long line of them. But every time she looks at me like she sees the man beneath the monster, the stakes change. The lines blur. And the game turns personal. Enemies push harder. The FBI closes in. My family expects me to win at any cost.
