A man who sees everything, and trusts no one. What begins as necessity soon feels like belonging. Yet in the world of power and blood, love is the most dangerous risk of all. And when Natalia starts to realize Derek might be the one man who sees her for who she truly is, she'll have to decide if she can let herself fall... or if love will destroy her the way it destroyed her father.
