Book synopsis:
Never fall for a mark. Mission fail.
Christopher Perri—a.k.a. Dante Perry—infiltrated the Madigan organization with one goal: vengeance for his murdered partner. Falling for the assassin at the head of the table wasn’t part of the plan, but Hawes Madigan is not the cold, untouchable Prince of Killers Chris expected. Everything about the newly crowned king is hot, and every inch of him eminently touchable… and off-limits once Chris’s cover is blown.
Exposure couldn’t come at a worse time. Hawes’s throne is threatened, and Chris suspects the same person who killed his partner is behind the coup. Working with Hawes benefits them both, but Chris’s employer has other ideas. Dismantling criminal organizations is what Chris does best, and his boss expects the King Slayer to deliver.
But Hawes is taking the Madigans in a new direction, one Chris can get behind, and the two men form a shaky alliance strengthened by the irresistible attraction between them… until Chris learns who killed his partner. Once he knows the truth, the King Slayer is unleashed, and Chris will stop at nothing to destroy those who betrayed him, including the king who stole his heart.
Twists and turns—and cliffhangers—continue in book two of the Fog City Trilogy. Read at your own risk!

“I told you it wasn’t all a lie.”
“It’s hard to sort out what was and wasn’t.”
“Ask me.” The truth had kept Hawes talking so far. Chris could offer him more, anything, to reestablish this connection. For the sake of the case, of course, nothing to do with what he wanted.
“Are you really from here?” Hawes asked.
Chris bit back his sigh of relief and settled in for the conversation he’d wanted all day. Lifting and bending one leg, he rested it on the cushions and slung an arm along the back of the chaise. “Yes, born and raised in North Beach.”
“Is your family still here?”
“They are.”
Hawes huffed in disbelief. “Why would you tell me that? You’re putting them at risk.”
“I’m not.” Of that, Chris was sure, more so with Hawes’s organization than with any other he’d investigated. “Hurting them would be against your rules.”
“My rules…” Hawes’s words died on a bitter chuckle.
It scraped over Chris’s bones, same as it had earlier. He hated it, hated the doubt he’d added to that mix. “Your rules are a good thing, Madigan.”
“Should have recognized that for what it was. Cop.”
“Why didn’t you?”
“I considered it when you walked into Danko.” The leather of the couch creaked and fabric shifted, Hawes relaxing more on his end too. “But then Brax didn’t know you, and…”
“And what?”
“That hair.”
Chris’s cheeks heated, recalling how often Hawes’s gaze had strayed to the long strands, how his hands had tunneled through it, how he’d curled a hank around his fist and tugged. Chris had nearly come on the spot. “You like the hair.”
“Too fucking much.” Judging by the gravel in Hawes’s voice, his mind had gone to the same place. “That, plus your Madigans. Sexy.”
Chris dropped his arm off the back of the chaise, hand landing on his thigh. “Street ran both ways, with your Mr. Perrys.”
“So the formalities wouldn’t have done me any favors, Mr. Perry?”
“Christ.” Chris scooted down and spread his legs, trying to make more room for his thickening cock. “No, Madigan, they would not.”
