Description from the publisher:
Wall Street meets the Sons of Anarchy in Damage Control, the smoldering, scorching next novel in the explosively sexy Dirty Money series from New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones. Don't miss book one, Hard Rules.

The only thing more dangerous than a dark secret is a damaged heart…

Shane Brandon has been pushed to the brink, torn between his corrupt family and his explosive, all-consuming desire for Emily Stevens, who he now knows is not who, and what, she seems. Has he trusted the wrong person? Will she, not his brother Derek, be the ultimate destruction of his family Empire?

Emily tries to run from Shane, but he will stop her, confront her, force her to reveal all – one hot touch and kiss, at a time, until every intimate detail of who this woman is, and what she wants, is exposed. But as he tears away the dangers of the unknowns with the woman in his bed, and in his heart, The Martina Cartel, has set their sights on his company, his family, and the one piece of leverage they believe he won’t gamble with: Emily.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DAMAGE CONTROL is the second book in the Dirty Money series.  They must to be read in the order of release.  If you have not yet read HARD RULES, stop now and read it first. 

Our story begins seconds after Hard Rules ended – Thank God and LRJ! – and I was sucked right back in.  The book is fast paced and there is a lot going on.  Pay attention!  We finally start getting answers to the bajillion questions left at the end of HARD RULES.  But, remember, this is book two of four, so you’re not going to get all of the answers!  This game of chess has only just begun.

The romance is hot.  Scorching hot!  It is also sweet, tender, and all-consuming.  Emily and Shane are just so perfect together that I wonder if anything could tear them apart.  Shane, who doesn’t let anyone see his softer side, has allowed Emily to see everything in him.  That, my friends, is trust and love.

Another cliff-hanger…. That’s your warning.  Lisa Renee Jones gets me every time!  I’m trying to turn pages that don’t exist – except in the next book and that’s where I’m going!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones is the author of the highly acclaimed INSIDE OUT series, which is now in development for a television show to be produced by Suzanne Todd of Team Todd (Alice in Wonderland). Suzanne Todd on the INSIDE
OUT series: Lisa has created a beautiful, complicated, and sensual world that is filled with intrigue and suspense. Sara’s character is strong, flawed, complex, and sexy - a modern girl we all can identify with. I’m thrilled to develop a television show that will tell Sara’s whole story – her life, her work, her friends, and her sexuality.

In addition to the success of Lisa's INSIDE OUT series, she has published many successful titles. The TALL, DARK AND DEADLY series and THE SECRET LIFE OF AMY BENSEN series, both spent several months on a combination of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling lists. Lisa is presently working on a dark, edgy new series, Dirty Money, for St. Martin's Press.

Prior to publishing, Lisa owned a multi-state staffing agency that was recognized many times by The Austin Business Journal and also praised by the Dallas Women's Magazine. In 1998 Lisa was listed as the #7 growing women owned business in Entrepreneur Magazine.
