My brothers and I may clash heads, and sometimes, we might even throw fists. But there's not much I won't do to protect them.

Which is how I find myself in this little… game.

Abbie thinks she can take down my family one by one to help her climb the police ranks faster. But she's an amateur, and her first mistake was allowing me to overhear her conversation.

I'm a master manipulator. I'll make her fall for me, and then, I'll tear her to pieces for coming after my family.

She may have started the game, but she's merely a pawn.

I'm the true master, and she's going to regret the day she ever met me.

I came from nothing, but I'm determined to have everything, no matter who gets in my way.

Well, that's my mindset until Cameron comes crashing into my life–coffee and donut in hand–and wears me down until I agree to date him.

He's dodgy, doesn't like to talk about himself, and is a master between the sheets. I originally started this with a plan–take him and his brothers down to climb the ranks and make something of myself.

I never anticipated falling in love with him.

Before I can come clean and tell him myself that I'd started this as a way to put him behind bars, I'm too late.

And when Cameron's enemies target me, we're already over. There's no reason for him to come after me–to rescue me.

I'm on my own… and I don't think I'm making it out of this alive.
