Thatโs my asshole step-brother and letโs not even get started on the clubโs suspicious Enforcer or the President whoโs dripping in sexual swagger. With four sexy as f*ck men at my back, can I get the job done or will our explosive personalities cause us to be at each otherโs throats? Oh, damn!

F*cking bastards. But Iโm not the thief who became famous at 15 years old and survived the mobโs hell in my past just to lay down and take that, they wonโt know what hit them.
