Ever since he rescued her from a dangerous kidnapper, Mystery Mullins has wanted Axel Dillon. When he returned her to her Hollywood father and tabloid life, she was grateful…and a little in love. Mystery wasn’t ready to let Axel go, even after the soldier gently turned her away because, at nineteen, she was too young.
Now, six years later, Mystery is grown, with a flourishing career and a full life—but she’s still stuck on Axel. Disguised, she propositions him in a bar, and the night they spend together is beyond her wildest dreams. Mystery steels herself to walk away—except the sheets are barely cold when her past comes back to haunt her.
Once he realizes Mystery isn’t the stranger he thought, Axel is incensed and intrigued. But when it’s clear she’s in danger, he doesn’t hesitate to become her protector—and her lover—again. And as the two uncover a secret someone is willing to kill for, Axel is determined to claim Mystery’s heart before a murderer silences her for good.

This was not the typical Wicked Lovers story. What I mean by that is, it did not have all the characters involved in some way. However.... THAT DID NOT DISAPPOINT IN THE LEAST! HOLY CRAP!
This has always been my favorite series by Shayla Black! This is one of those, "I don't even need to read the synopsis kind of books. Just gimme!"
There were plenty of familiar names and places from previous books in this story and a wonderful part of Dominion club and Thorpe and Callie with Jaquin making an appearance as well.
Mystery thought she knew her parents. Being in the limelight of childhood stardum since her father was a famous director and her deceased mother was a famous actress prior to her mysterious death several years back.
But, one night out with friends.
A kidnapping that threw her right in the hands of a man she had no business falling for at her age.
A bodyguard who may or may not be taking his job to the literal extreme.
An aunt who has bordered on psycho
And you get one hell of a love story that leaves you guessing just where you thought you knew all along who was who.
