Redemption. Not everyone gets a second chance. Especially not at love. When I married Dante, I knew he would be a powerful man someday. I didn’t know that day would come so soon. Our marriage forged an alliance between the New Orleans underground and my Police Chief father, but old grudges die hard. And everyone I’ve ever loved is torn between duty and honor. Everything we thought we knew about the looming war with an old enemy is wrong and one mistake could be the difference between life and death. My marriage paid the city’s ransom, but the stakes have risen higher than anyone could have predicted… for New Orleans and for Dante. The lines in the sand have been drawn and I know where I stand, but when the dust settles on the battlefront, will love be enough to save us? Will we emerge from the shadows victorious? Or will our painful past finally catch up to us and condemn us?
This book is the second in a duet and picks up immediately from a cliffhanger. If you have not read the first book in the series, you WILL be confused.
The duet has its own HEA and can be read without reading its predecessor, but it is highly recommended to read the Emily trilogy first to understand the dynamics of the relationships between the characters. This book has mature content that is intended for audiences 18+ including situations which may be triggering for some.
