Ride with the Devil, Ride with the Devil

A woman with a secret. A man trying to avoid his past. A case of mistaken identity that changes everything. In this explosive finale, the city of Springfield will never be the same...KylieIt was supposed to be a quick job. I had a name, an address, and a means-and right as I walked on the scene, I watched as the Devil of Springfield himself blew away the vice mayor.My first instinct is to wash my hands of the whole thing, but before I can get out of there, I'm caught and, well, caught.I've had some wild experiences in my line of work, but being grabbed and tossed in the back of a trunk? That takes the cake, and by the time I'm brought to a small hideaway, I'm kind of just wondering what's going to happen next.To be honest, I'm expecting a bullet in my skull, and I'm almost welcoming it-and that's when I meet Luca, a member of the Sinners Syndicate... and my new babysitter.He tells me this is just to keep me safe. That his boss wants me dead, and even if he didn't, there's a new threat in the city: a faceless assassin who goes by the Hummingbird. So long as I do what I'm told and stay where he put me, I might actually make it out of this alive.And for the first time in years, I'm digging that idea.Only Luca... he doesn't know what to make of me. He expected tears; I give him a flirty smile. He expected me to beg; I ask him if he wants to play checkers. I'm having the time of my life, and the sparks flying between us have me close to igniting.And then he discovers that I am the Hummingbird-and, whoops, things aren't as much fun anymore...LucaWhen the pretty brunette saw something she shouldn't have, I had no choice. Devil gives the orders, and he told me to put the girl in the trunk.I put the girl in the trunk.Rumors run that becoming a dad changed Devil. Made him soft. Anyone in the life knows that's BS, especially when he decides he's going to eliminate the threat to the Sinners. Only I... I can't let him.So I ask to keep her instead. If I make her mine, if I win her loyalty, then she won't snitch.It's easier than I thought it would be. Kylie is the strangest yet most intoxicating woman I've ever met, and the more time I spend with her, the more my obsession for her grows. I want to save her-but when I learn the secrets she's been hiding, I have no choice.The Hummingbird is supposedly a threat to Springfield. But if anything happens to Kylie... I might just lose my cool.And ask anyone in Hamilton: bad things happen when Luca St. James loses his cool.
