Trevanion Usher's mother had always told him that beauty faded but stupid was forever, so he aimed high and set out to be beautiful for as long as he could and only let people think he was stupid.
Since her passing, he's managed to navigate the perils of Perry City, a dangerous metropolis run by the mob and oozing with corruption. His sharp wits, good looks, and absolute lack of shame have served him well, and he's almost ready to escape and start over somewhere with a tropical climate. When his landlord calls in a favor, Trev is suspicious but jumps at the chance to score big in exchange for one night of work.
Naturally, that's when everything goes wrong.
Jupiter Prospero is a member of the city's ruling mob family and he's interested in sharing much more than Trev's company for the evening. He's gorgeous, powerful, and has secrets to reveal—like Trev's relation to a powerful gangster in the city of Strassen Springs.
Trev finds himself trapped as an unwilling pawn in a deadly game between two long feuding criminal families and he'll have to use all of his skills to survive, but does he stand a chance against Jupiter's devastating charms?
Or will he succumb to even darker forces before he has a chance to cash out?
