Baby steps…
Mads Daniels may have landed at House Of Payne, but she sure as hell doesn't want to be there. Her tattooist father started out with Payne, and his tales of the boss stealing artists' work freaks her out in a big way. If Payne ever attempts to steal her art, she'll have no choice but to unveil him as a fraud. And that could bring down House of Payne itself.
 

 
Step by step…
Sage McCormick never had a stable home until he joined House of Payne. It's such a sweet gig he's even willing to get involved in events like its annual charity auction. Everything is just about perfect, except for the newest recruit, Mads. She refuses to fit in, and he's determined to find out why. Getting her sexy ass involved in the auction is only the first step in getting close to her… in more ways than one.
 
 

Leap of faith
The cocky charm Sage exudes like a pheromone bowls Mads over straight into his bed. But as Sage tries to coax her into thinking of the House as her new home, she realizes she has a decision to make—listen to the poison her father spews, or put her faith in the man she loves.
