Hugh Marlow fought for his country before ending up on the wrong side of the law. After five hard years inside, thinking only of the fortune he’d stashed away before being thrown behind bars, he was ready to fight anyone who stood in the way of what was his. Rough justice was still the only thing he understood. Unfortunately for him, he wasn’t the only one. Now the worst of London’s gangsters and criminals are after Marlowe and his hidden bounty.But there is also a beautiful, vulnerable woman asking for his help…In order to leave behind his life of lawless abandon, Marlowe must outwit and outmuscle the murderous men who want nothing more than to see him dead and to claim the money as their own.
