"It's just a needle, relax." Forest states calmly as he readies the needle and vial.

"Easy for you to say you're not the one being stabbed with a pointy death tube." I thrashed, bucking and trying to free myself from Asher's arms.

"Easy! You're going to hurt yourself Gray come help me hold her she won't quit moving!" Asher yells.

"Let. Me. Go!" I thrashed harder and landed a good elbow to his ribs. He let go of me momentarily to clutch his stomach and I take this time to run.

Azure Wilson has been on her own for quite a while. Turning to the streets to protect herself, she joins a gang at 12 and stays under the protection of Declan Henson, the gang leader and her 'personal' protector. Now 15, Azure finds herself as a more involved member of the gang, and gets to be the drug mule to a buy that goes south real quick.

Leonardo Vincetti is the Don of the Italian Mafia. He's fed up with the gangs that have been poaching his goods and dealing with his clients under the table. Promising cheaper prices and more product, Devin and the Skulls have become a problem that needs to be eliminated. Setting up a fake deal expecting Declan or one of the men from his inner circle to arrive, he is in for quite the surprise when he's met with a scared teenage girl who looks an awful lot like him.

Azure "escapes" and unknowingly leads the Italians right to Declan's hideout. Azure finds herself a prisoner being treated with far more care than the rest of her fellow gang members.

Six boys and a Mafia legacy, Leonardo must figure out who this child is and why she has his eyes. Before someone else figures it out first.

A past she doesn't remember, and an unsteady future, Azure must think fast, and act faster if she wants to take control of her life.
