Seraphina Buchanan has spent her life standing at the edge of the Cody family's dangerous world. Raised alongside the Cody twins, she knows the darkness that surrounds them-but she has always refused to let it claim her.
In a family ruled by the ruthless Smurf Cody, Seraphina remains the only person Andrew "Pope" Cody truly trusts. Where others see his violence and instability, Seraphina sees the wounded soul beneath it. With her, Pope finds the rare thing he cannot find anywhere else: quiet.
When Smurf casts Julia Cody out of the family after accusing her of theft, Pope turns to the only person he believes might save his sister. Desperate and afraid, he brings Julia to Seraphina's door in the middle of the night. Seraphina offers Julia what the Cody world never could-mercy, safety, and a place without judgment.
But peace is fragile in the Cody orbit.
When Julia disappears again, leaving behind only a letter promising to raise her unborn child away from the family's violence, Pope is left shattered. Seraphina becomes the one person holding him together as his loyalty to the family clashes with the quiet life she offers him.
Yet Seraphina carries a secret of her own.
Hidden from Smurf and the rest of the Cody empire, Seraphina and Pope share a bond deeper than anyone knows-a secret marriage forged in the shadows of the life Pope can never fully escape.
As the Cody family spirals deeper into crime, betrayal, and bloodshed, Seraphina must confront the truth she has always feared:
Loving Andrew Cody may cost her everything.
And some secrets-especially the ones meant to protect the people we love-can change the fate of an entire family.
