Hers to Tame — Rhenna Morgan

As an avtoritet for the most powerful crime syndicate in New Orleans, Kir Vasilek doesn't act without purpose, doesn't speak without thought and never, ever loses his cool. The lives of his brothers, his family, depend on it. But then Cassie McClintock strolls back into his life, and staying cool is next to impossible. Cassie was the one who got away -- and Kir is willing to break all his own rules to keep it from happening ever again.

It's one thing to report on the Russian mafia; it's quite another to sleep with one of them, especially one as dangerous, and as sinfully sexy, as Kir Vasilek. Even though the information he once provided helped make her career -- and the memory of his touch still keeps her up at night -- Cassie knows too much about his world to go down that path.

But when Kir reaches out for help after a rival family comes for one of his own, Cassie doesn't want to say no, either to investigating a gruesome murder or to the heat that pulls her right back into his arms…and his heart. Taming Kir -- and helping to save the family she's come to call her own -- is not the story she thought she'd write, but it's the one she's determined will get a happy ending.
