This book was actually a little shocking, to be honest.  The main character Nan is a..... lady of the night (?), who is hired for a very high paying job.  She is to marry Gasper, a notorious mob boss who is currently incarcerated.  She is hired to marry him, so she is able to get into the prison for "conjugal visits", and so she can take orders from him to pass to his people on the outside.  A little messed up, right?  Well, Nan and Gaspar eventually get to know each other, and realize that they actually do like each other.  This is further complicated when a police officer who is investigating Nan develops feeling for her, and she starts to for him as well.If you are looking for a gritty thriller, with strong character development, and a surprisingly unique storyline, then check this out.  As a few of the other reviews mention, there is a Pretty-Woman-meets-The-Godfather vibe throughout the story, and I think it is handled really well.I will definitely check out Linton Robinson's other works
