Kase by Nikki Riker

Sometimes a few minutes make all the difference between desire and hope.
Kase Cruz is a man who plays with women; an arrangement made between the sheets. No exceptions. The one time he did make an exception, the daughter of Calamity Gardel, cost him a life in more ways than one.
While at a dry party, Kase is itching for a thrill – and he finds it when he meets his high school sweetheart, Brooklyn Gardel, after years apart. Despite himself, Brooklyn’s piercing blue eyes strike him where he stands.
Despite a truce between the Spade and King families, Brooklyn is still nervous crossing into Spade territory. With no hope of returning home and her options running out, Brooklyn takes a risk and asks Kase for help. While tethering his craving for her, Kase must bypass his brother, Cruz, who also has Brooklyn on his radar, along with others from the King family who are after blood.
Some bruises and long-healed scars reopen as Kase and Brooklyn reveal the dangers and traumas inflicted between lost years. Spades protect their women, but after the last time – can they both detach themselves from the red-hot attraction crackling between them to face the gunmen locked and loaded outside the door?
