This will be the last night in the life of Delly Alexander. A talented cat thief, Delly cracks one safe too many. The safe belongs to an old enemy, Neal Cadogan, who catches her red-handed and ties her up while he decides what to do with her.

Now, with Delly literally at his mercy, Neal takes his revenge—which swiftly reverts to a night of heated sexual need seasoned by years of lies. It is a sensual power-play with each determined to outsmart the other. And both are quick to use sex as a weapon. But their warped passion is the key that finally unlocks the door on a decade-old conspiracy that will utterly change their lives.
