Synopsis
She was meant to be his assassin
A forced player in a rivalry within The Estate
Yet her loyalty was to no person but herself
When Hope is taken captive by Xander Black
She becomes the one thing that can ensure Aaron’s reign
Raised within a rival crime network, Hope Delacroix wanted nothing to do with The Estate. A fierce warrior, Hope is given no choice but to kill Aaron Carmichael. Caught in her attempt, Hope is captured by Aaron’s top guard in an effort to discover who sent her.
Ever loyal and protective, Xander Black’s sole objective is to defend Aaron and Maddy. Willing to do whatever is necessary, Xander gives in to darkness in order to force information out of Hope.
As Xander enslaves Hope to break her down completely, he learns that in the two years since Joseph Carmichael’s death, dissension still exists within The Estate.
Excerpt
A humorless laugh broke free of her throat.
"Growing up in the shadow of The Estate is enough incentive for all
women to be trained. Do you think nobody knows what goes on here? We
notice the disappearance of our families, our friends. We can smell the
bodies as they're burned."
He smiled.
"You've done your homework.
Congratulations.” Mockery weighed
down his last word. He paused, his eyes
twinkling as they moved over her. The
timbre of his voice deepened when he calmly stated, “I can promise you, I will
discover who you are, and while I'm at it, I'll also discover who the fuck sent
you. If you make my life easier by giving up the information now, I'll
make sure you are no longer breathing when you become one of those burning
bodies."
She was amused by his threat. "You can set me on fire right here, big
guy, and end this bullshit game right now." She winked.
"I'll never tell you a fucking thing."
