In the mist-veiled hills of Derbyshire, blood runs deeper than loyalty.
Avril Drake, heiress to the feared and powerful Drake crime family, has lived her life behind walls... some built by men, others of her own making. When a bitter feud ignites between the Drakes and their long-standing rivals, the Pickertons, Avril becomes the ultimate pawn in a deadly game of power and vengeance.
Kidnapped and held deep within the Pickerton estate, Avril expects pain, leverage, maybe even death. What she doesn't expect is him... Lorn Pickerton. Ruthless. Controlled. Haunted. The enemy's second son with secrets etched into his skin and ice behind his gaze.
As adversaries close in and the line between hatred and desire blurs, Avril must decide if her heart is a battleground... or the most dangerous weapon of all.
In this gripping dark romance of twisted loyalties and forbidden longing, nothing is black and white... only blood red.
