Description from the publisher:
Wall Street meets the Sons of Anarchy in Bad Deeds, the smoldering, scorching next novel in the explosively sexy Dirty Money series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones.

Would you bleed for the one you love?

To save his family empire from the grip of the drug cartel, Shane is pushed to the edge of darkness, forced to make choices he might never make. His father is dying. His brother is desperate to rule the empire and this means war and all gloves are off. His brother only thought he knew what dirty meant. Shane is about to give it new meaning. There is another war brewing though, and that one is inside him, his battle between right and wrong, light and dark, and in the heat of the night, it is Emily he turns to for escape. Driving her to new limits, pushing her to accept a part of him that even he cannot.

In every one of Shane's seductive demands, Emily can taste and feel, his torment, his struggle to save his family and not lose himself. But he is losing himself, and that is a problem just as dangerous as her secret, that still lurk in the shadows, a threat to the Brandon Family waiting to erupt. No matter where she and Shane have traveled, or will travel in the future, she can't just sit back and watch him become everything he hates, everything he never wanted to become, everything she tried to save him from when she tried to run. It could be their undoing, the end. His end.

This is war, blood will spill, and someone in the heart of the Brandon family will not survive....

This is book THREE of FOUR in Shane and Emily's story.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BAD DEEDS is the third book in the new Dirty Money series.  They must be read in order.

I’m going to start off by saying she did it again!  Lisa Renee Jones sucks me in every time.  She holds me captive.  I can’t stop reading until I reach the end and when I do, I’m pushing for more pages, I’m screaming, “No!” and I’m gasping for the next installment in this series.

I love Emily.  She makes Shane stronger and smarter.  She guides and he listens to her… better than most men IMHO.  Still, Shane frustrated me.  He knew that she was smart and gave good advice, so why does he keep trying to send her out of the room while he conducts business?  I know he’s trying to “protect her,” but she already knows what is going on.  So, why not let her have the information that will allow her to help him even more in making those smart decisions?  The business, the family, and their lives are on the line.  Allow her all of the way in!  Trust her!

I think it is this holding back of his trust that keeps her from fully believing she has the whole package when he offers her his world. 

Suspense, family drama, suspense, sexy romance, and suspense!  BAD DEEDS kept me up until the wee hours, because there was no way I could stop until …. Oh sh## a cliffhanger… I should have known.  I did know.  Still, I go until I’m hanging on by my nails and I wait until the next book to see who will be there to peel my nails from the cliff and hold me as I continue on in this series.
