The Devil's Playground - The Devil of Essex, #2

Everything should be going well for James Vance. Since his parents' deaths, he's taken to the roles of nightclub owner and loan shark like a fish to water. But not everything is perfect in paradise-with Makayla on his case for her fantasy wedding and a criminal organisation demanding a cut of his profits, he's starting to feel the heat. Kara Harris' life is in shambles. With an uncontrollable gambling habit wreaking havoc on her finances and an unpaid loan to Advance Loans hanging over her head, she's forced to work for the man himself-James.
She soon meets one of his enforcers, the brooding Russian, Zakhar, who takes her under his wing in an attempt to straighten her out. Kara quickly realises she has feelings for him, but his attention lies elsewhere. With two murders under his belt, will James be forced to turn to his gun once more? And as for Kara, will she strike it lucky with Zakhar, or continue on her losing streak?
