I swore I would never return. Not to this city. Not to his world. Not to his grasp. But New York was never truly done with me. Five years ago, I left everything behind. I walked away from Alec Romano—the man who once loved my sister, the man who nearly killed me. I ran, carrying the greatest secret he never knew. I ran, carrying the one thing that could destroy him. His son. For years, I believed I could live in the shadows, far from anything that bore his name. But the dark world I abandoned has found its way back to me. Someone is threatening to take my son. And I can’t protect him alone. There is only one place powerful enough to keep us alive—under the protection of the man who despises me the most. Alec doesn’t know Abraham is his. All he knows is that I betrayed him, that the blood on my hands belonged to the woman he once loved. And when I stand before him again, those cold hazel eyes show no mercy. He wants revenge. He wants control. But what terrifies me the most? He will uncover the truth. And Alec Romano never lets anything slip through his fingers.
