Like this once great American city that had fallen into a death spiral. A million lost souls were looking for a leader and now they've got one who rules with an iron fist. Everything was running like a well-oiled machine until the day Victoria Lynn walked into my club.From the moment I saw her, I knew she didn't belong. Her light brown hair accented with blonde highlights, seductive amber eyes and full red lips were just the tip of the iceberg. I scanned the length of her, taking in the most voluptuous body I had witnessed in recent memory, all wrapped up in a stunning black dress. If there was ever a body that was made for sin, it was hers. She had curves that only a real man could maneuver and it was obvious that she could stand up to a good hard ride. From a hundred feet away I could tell that she was either looking for trouble or was sent as some sort of irresistible bait. Either way, I knew that I was her mark as she sauntered the full length of the bar before glancing in my direction. If she was looking for trouble, I was interested. If she was some kind of bait... still interested. No one can f*ck with me. I'm bulletproof and this is my domain. At least that's what I thought, before she rocked my world and turned it completely upside down.Dirty Deeds is an approximately 60,000-word full-length novel that is the first book in the new Ultimate Bad Boys series.
