The Cost of Control

By Ariana Kade

He controls Toronto's most exclusive nightclub. His power reaches deep into the city's criminal underworld. Then Mia Calderone becomes the one thing he cannot control.

Mia takes a job at Haven looking for stability-not the attention of Shawn McGregor.

Powerful, tattooed and feared, Shawn rules his world through discipline. He does not chase women. He does not explain himself. And he never allows anyone close enough to become a weakness.

Until Mia.

What begins as forbidden attraction quickly becomes obsession. Shawn wants her in his club, in his penthouse and under his protection-where no rival, secret or other man can reach her.

But the deeper Mia is drawn into his luxurious and dangerous world, the more she realizes that Shawn's love does not come gently. It comes with rules, enemies and a claim he has no intention of surrendering.

To love him is to be possessed by a man powerful enough to give her everything-and ruthless enough to destroy anyone who tries to take her away.

The Cost of Control is the first book in the Haven series-an emotionally intense dark mafia romance about obsessive love, forbidden desire, dangerous secrets and the price of surrendering control.
