In the Devil's Hands (The Devils of Whitmoore Book 1)
27 parts Ongoing MatureLilith Wolfe thought she'd buried the past-the sweet, scorching summer she spent falling for Liam Reinhardt, and the heartbreak that followed when he returned home. Pregnant, alone, and scared, she did what she had to do to survive.
Now 24, she's a single mother of eight-year-old twins, doing everything she can to protect them from the abusive ex who haunts her every step. With a map and a dart, Lilith flees to nowhere, Nebraska, and into the path of the last man she ever thought she'd see again and has never stopped loving.
Liam Reinhardt isn't the boy she remembers. At 25, he's a kingpin of organized crime-rich, ruthless, and dangerous. When Lilith crashes back into his life, he assumes she's running a game. He's never forgiven her for ghosting him all those years ago... and he sure as hell doesn't trust her now.
But when he discovers the truth-that her twins are his-everything changes.
As old wounds reopen and new enemies close in, Lilith and Liam must navigate a dangerous world of secrets, betrayal, and buried passion. Because the only thing more dangerous than the enemies outside... is what will happen if she tries to ghost him again.
