Finn O’Grady is the Devil in a custom suit.
Not even God will deny a man like him.

I'm certainly not God.
I'm just a woman he's set his sights on.
One he’ll never relinquish.

His idea of being ‘kind’ is to give me two options.

One
Destroy the reputation of a man I love.

Two
Bed him . . . and he’ll forget about what he knows.

One night only.

He doesn't know I'm a virgin.

And when he finds out?

One night isn't enough.

-- Not for him, and not for me. --

But his world is forged on the misery of others.

He might have a house in the Hamptons,
stare at the Hudson when he sits behind his desk,
and manage a billion dollar hedge fund,
all of that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a mobster.

One of the infamous Five Points.

Being with him puts me in danger.
But my heart?

Well, it’s been in danger from the first moment we met . . .
