Sophie is the daughter of a murdered crime boss, trapped in the violent world of her stepmother, Araminta, who controls the Penwood Crime Family. After a harrowing escape, Sophie encounters Benedict Bridgerton, a detective investigating the very same criminal empire, driven by a personal vendetta-the unsolved murder of his father at their hands.
Though Sophie fears Benedict may be working for Araminta, his kindness and quiet determination convince her to trust him. Benedict offers her refuge in a secluded safe house, and as they grow closer, Sophie begins to share the painful truth of her past. Benedict sees an opportunity to unravel the mystery of his father's death-and perhaps bring down the Penwood family in the process.
But as their bond deepens, both must face impossible choices: Can Sophie and Benedict escape the shadows of the past, or are some shadows too dark to bring into the light?
