Wicked Sanctuary
Saved by the Sinner

He’s a former criminal hunting the mob that made him. She’s an FBI agent undercover as a mobster’s girlfriend. Their collision could destroy them both—or become their only chance at redemption.
Theo Mercer has spent years paying for his sins. After betraying the Russian mob to save an innocent woman, he’s been working in the shadows, hiding his true mission even from the elite security firm his brother helped found. Now, he’s finally infiltrated the organization that once claimed his loyalty, with one goal: dismantle it from within. No distractions. No complications. No room for error.
FBI behavioral analyst Nina Esposito is playing a dangerous game. Deep undercover as a mobster’s girlfriend, she’s gathering evidence against the same crime family that murdered her cousin years ago. With her flawless Italian-American pedigree and calculated persona, her cover is perfect—until she locks eyes with Theo across a crowded nightclub and immediately recognizes the calculated awareness that doesn’t match his criminal facade.
When violence erupts and both their covers are compromised, Theo and Nina are forced to reveal their true identities to each other. But the revelations don’t end there. Their separate missions collide when:
As they uncover a conspiracy reaching the highest levels of law enforcement, Theo and Nina will need to decide quickly: Which is more dangerous—standing together or falling apart? And when the Russian mob closes in, will Theo’s sinful past be what destroys them—or saves them both?
Some sins can’t be forgiven. Some secrets can’t stay buried. And some attractions can’t be denied—even when they could get you killed.
