Guarding Her Gangster Girl by Persephone Black (The Colombo Family Duet, 1)

Assigned to protect Brie Colombo after an attempt on her life, the narrator enters the job expecting a shallow trophy wife with a fake smile and a dangerous past. As a rising member of the Consortium, she follows orders, even when those orders mean shadowing Brie through smoky backrooms and the casino she now owns. But the woman she discovers is sharp, ambitious, and far more complex than anyone believes.

Protecting Brie long enough for her to sign a crucial contract should be simple, yet the narrator is pulled into Brie’s hunt for the truth behind her husband’s murder. Each charged moment blurs the line between duty and desire, forcing her to choose between the Consortium’s power and the woman who challenges every rule she has lived by. In Vegas, loyalty is a gamble, and Brie Colombo may be the riskiest bet she has ever made.
