It's been four agonizing years for Tali, trying and failing to cope with Dallas's death. When an undisclosed source invites her to aid in an overseas mission that quickly goes horribly wrong, Natalia comes face to face with the ugly truth behind the lies she's been fed for years. In a race against time while she runs for her life, will Natalia finally receive the closure she's craving, or will someone else exact revenge?

The strange discovery drags her into a world of fear, treachery, blood and of course, love. Lucas Martin is the young Lord of a dangerous cult.

A brief contact with her shows him the smart and fierce woman beneath the beautiful face. Will they succeed together or will the forces in the dark keep them apart? A thriller of betrayal, trust, survival and love. ******************************************************************************************* "Why did you fucking run away?" She paused for a second. "Because I saw a bloodied hand in the bag you brought." He shook his head. "That's not reason enough to run away. If I left my wallet at your workplace, you should keep it and return it when I come back. That's what normal people do." She looked at him with a dry expression. "I'm very sure normal people will never compare a mutilated hand with a flimsy purse. They are barely in the same category." ********************************************************************************************** "That's not all. You'll have to complete a task for us." She eyed the man warily. "What task?" "It's been concluded that there is a traitor in our midst. Your task will be to fish out this individual or individuals, as the case may be." **************************************************************************************************
