SUMMARY
Sienna’s world got flipped upside down when she walked in on her fiance, Jamie, banging another girl on the kitchen counter. He definitely tried to say “it wasn’t me” but she left his cheating ass and moved in with her bestie, Maddie. After a week or so, Maddie convinces Sienna she needs to go out and let loose at a new club, End Zone, that just opened. She agrees and they’re having a great time. She ends up tripping and falling right into the owner’s lap.
Keller, the owner of the club, is also a boxer and a hitman for the mafia - which his brother is the boss of. Keller immediately takes a liking to Sienna. When he sees her being harassed by Jamie later on, he threatens to kick his ass and invites Sienna up to his office.
After some fingerbanging, which Luca (his brother/mafia boss) interrupts, Sienna leaves. Only to be accosted by Jamie (again) outside. Keller is leaving the club when he hears Sienna yelling and he goes to save her. He threatens Jamie (again) and drives Sienna back to his place.
They’re about to get it on when he gets a phone call and Sienna is like wtf am I doing?! She tries to leave while he’s on the phone but he catches her and drives her home.
There’s a bit of a back and forth between the two. Keller doesn’t want to bring Seinna into his fucked up world and tires to stay away from her but can’t. Sienna doesn’t want to jump into another relationship, plus she has severe trust issues, so she doesn’t want to pursue him either. But they can’t seem to avoid each other. There’s a few instances in which Sienna tries to ghost Keller, but he isn’t having it. Jamie continues to be a problem and he doesn’t seem fazed by how many times Keller threatens to murder him.
Keller and Sienna end up moving in with each other (freakishly fast). Keller is really focused on training for, what he hopes is, his last boxing match. A huge fight in Vegas. If he wins this, somehow that earns him freedom from the mob as well. And Keller loves his brother - but he doesn't want to be in the mob forever.
When it comes time to fly to Vegas, Sienna is super sick. She thinks she has a stomach bug but she can’t travel at the moment. Keller doesn’t want to leave her but he has to go. Luca will have some of his guys watch over the penthouse while they are gone. Keller heads to the airport, Maddie comes over, and one of Luca’s guys heads out knowing that the other guy is close by to take over. Maddie asks Sienna if maybe she is pregnant and that’s why she is so sick? She offers to go get a test for Sienna. While she is gone, Jamie breaks into the penthouse, and abducts Sienna.
He takes her to his apartment and beats the fuck out of her while another rival mob watches. Jamie is a lawyer, with a drug problem, and he owes a lot of money to the leader of this mob. They decide he can pay off his debt by killing Keller’s girlfriend, which will destroy Keller, and in turn, Luca’s mafia family.
Keller is on the runaway getting ready to take off for Vegas when Luca gets a message. His guy showed up at Keller’s penthouse and Sienna was gone. Keller is like get me off this fucking plane right now. They find out that she is at Jamie’s apartment so they head there. Between Keller, Luca, and Keller’s friend/trainer Grayson, they manage to take out everyone and get Sienna. Sienna is pretty badly beaten up and it takes her a few days to regain consciousness in the hospital. When she does, Keller is there. He has been by her side the whole time but as soon as she is awake, he breaks up with her. Tells her that it's his fault she is in this position and he can’t live with himself if something else were to happen to her. She begs him not to leave but he does anyway. After he leaves, the doctor comes in, tells Sienna the baby survived the attack and is still alive.
A month goes by, Keller spends it tracking down more men that belong in the opposing mob and killing them. Sienna decides to randomly call him and just let him know that he’s an asshole and oh by the way, is this guard that Luca has with her, is he single? This pisses Keller off and he decides he wants her back.
One of the ways he decides to apologize is by buying a building, outfitting it with a bunch of gym equipment and donating it to a boys and girls club type of organization that Sienna volunteers for. He also reschedules his fight because he wants out of the mob.
He wants to get back with her and she forgives him way too easily. It's probably her hormones.
He invites her to his fight in Vegas, she goes, he wins. He asks her to marry him (keep in mind, they haven’t really talked in a month and are still fighting), she says yes. They get married that night in Vegas and she tells him she’s pregnant.
Epilogue - Keller and Sienna have a little girl and adopt one of the boys that Sienna has grown close to in the boys and girls club.
Bonus chapters - Lots of spice. In the future showing that they are still happily married. They had another baby, a little boy, a few years after the first baby.
