What’s worse: getting into debt over student loans? Or getting into debt with a loan shark? Elena Martin’s options are pretty freaking slim. If she can’t come up with the money to pay off what she owes the art institute—who is also her landlord—she’ll be facing eviction, financial expulsion, and an unforeseeable future full of unanswered questions her parents will undoubtedly (and unceasingly) ask.

Yes, those men might be the mob in question. But they have what she needs. More specifically, the unbelievably gorgeous guy in charge of them has what she needs—if he’s willing to negotiate.
