Murphy’s Law: If anything can go wrong, it will.

Duncan Murphy:
After losing my sister years ago and then recently my brother, I knew happiness wasn’t in the cards for me. In my line of work, happiness was overrated and could get you killed. So I avoided relationships, preferring one-night stands and occasional flings.
Tasked with finding the man who betrayed the family, a chance meeting turns my world upside down. Not one to pass up a beautiful woman, I give into lust only to learn she’s not exactly what I thought.
Too damn old for games and set in my ways I move on only to have her fall into my arms time and time again.

Freyja Malpas:
After watching my brother marry, I knew my turn was next. I had it on good authority that I would meet the man I’m destined to be with at Mardi Gras. I just never expected to bump into a man that would make me doubt everything I had ever known.
Offering him only one night, I walk away with a heavy heart, refusing to give up on my destiny.
Growing up, I knew love wouldn’t come easily for me, but I never expected danger around every corner.
Fate was a fickle bitch.
I knew that, but she could have given a girl a little warning first!
