LENA CROSS

On the surface, Lena Cross is the most beautiful woman in any room she enters—blonde hair, green eyes sharp enough to cut glass, and a smile that has separated more men from their money than every poker table in Vegas combined. She moves through Aces like a queen, reading clients, negotiating terms, and managing Marino's operation with the precision of a Swiss watch.

But underneath the designer dresses and practiced charm is something far more dangerous—a woman with a spine made of carbon steel and a capacity for violence that would make hardened criminals flinch. Lena Cross doesn't just survive in a man's world. She makes the men in it wish they'd never crossed her path. Those green eyes miss nothing, forgive less, and forget absolutely nothing at all.
