King of Sin by Michelle St. James

"Holy Sinful Hell!" Maxwell Cartwright just wants to have fun. At least that’s what he tells himself as he works his way through every showgirl and high roller room in Vegas, burning through his trust fund and trying to forget the betrayal of his old friend Jason Draper. Then Nico Vitale, head of the Syndicate, mentions the one thing that might prompt Max to action. Max's best friend, Abby, may be in grave danger. Abby Sterling is finally in control. Breaking free of an abusive father wasn’t easy, but hard work, a college degree, and a job in the executive offices of her childhood friend Jason Draper’s casino has her feeling like she’s free of the past. But maintaining her friendship with both Max and Jason isn’t easy when the two men won’t even speak to each other, and things get even more complicated when Abby’s relationship with Max heats up in surprising ways. As Max’s ties to the Syndicate deepen, he crosses his long held line with Abby, taking her to bed in spite of his promise never to risk their friendship. Now Max is in over his head, with the Syndicate, Jason Draper, and the woman he’s loved his entire life. The only way out is to infiltrate Jason Draper’s dark empire — and save Abby from becoming collateral damage. ______________________________ ★★★★★ "This book was a non-stop read!" ★★★★★ "With lots of suspense and hot steamy scenes and romance this book will have you reading through the night." ★★★★★ "So hot I blushed while reading!" ★★★★★ "Exciting and intriguing.
