Of Retribution and Revival

As a former military member, Blakely Sabriel understands her best friend, Dakota Hart, has a duty to serve the realm. Perhaps that's why Blakely doesn't mind looking after Dakota's three rambunctious children, or perhaps it stems from the fact that Blakely is in love with him. Regardless of the reasons, Blakely knows she wants Dakota to return home quickly and safely.

However, it's hard to concentrate on raising three kids and hoping her best friend stays safe when her past is constantly lurking and just itching to sink its teeth into her again.
