Blood Docks, Rival Hearts

You are Isabella Moran — the dock rats' princess, the one Jake kept out of the blood and the deals and the late-night threats. But Anchor Lane does not care about your clean hands, and neither does Matteo Ferro, who has been watching you for three weeks from the wrong side of the harbor. Now he is standing six feet in front of you in the one alley where no one is allowed to throw the first punch — and he is smiling like he already won. Jake does not know you are here. He cannot find out. The 48-hour clock on a deal that destroys your brother's empire started ticking an hour ago, and Matteo is the only one who knows it.
