Pain. Suffering. Heartache. That's all Heather Byrd ever witnessed and knew. Surviving in the world of New London was tough enough, but to be nothing more but a ploy for everyone else and an easy dollar, it was killing her. She wanted death, more than anything. So when she finds herself in the grips of the Mad Baker, she welcomes death...or so she thinks.
Raelynn Baker
A woman who escaped the viciously blinding nights of forced prostitution. Snatched from the embrace of a comfortable life, she had to hold onto herself for survival. A true warrior who persistently fights against the dark memories of her past.
Vincent Marino
A man who runs the entire underground syndicate. Born and brought up in the treacherous darkness of power struggle, he rose to the top by challenging years of humiliation and brutally vanquishing every opponent in blood.
Respect.
He values it the most.
Freedom.
She longs for it from her own demons.
Mirroring each other's gaze, forcing the other to back down, they lock horns when a chance encounter collides them.
One is authoritative.
One is headstrong.
Each holding a story of their own and both trying to read each other.
She has secrets that when break out would tarnish his respect and question his authority while he has rivals who when succeed would shove her back into her terrifying past.
When love becomes a double edged sword, with danger lurking right around the corner, can the ignited flames of curiosity break the shackles of their past and melt the ice walls surrounding their heart?
Ride along the melancholically beautiful journey of two souls in their pursuit of a home!
