Publisher's Synopsis
Two years ago, Malia Rose Farrier fought her way out of the darkness. She survived betrayal, heartbreak, and the kind of pain that should have destroyed her. But she didn't break. She built a new life-one filled with love, power, and the family she never thought she'd have. For the first time in her life, she was safe. She was free.
But the past never stays buried.
When the shadows she thought she left behind come back with a vengeance, Malia finds herself caught in a war she never wanted. Secrets unravel. Lies surface. And the people who once swore to protect her are now the ones waiting for her to fall. This time, she's not just fighting for herself-she's fighting for her children, for her future, for everything she holds dear.
Donatello Farrier has spent his life ruling the underworld with an iron fist. Feared. Respected. Untouchable. But none of it has ever mattered more than Malia. She is his heart, his home, and the only thing he's ever truly feared losing. And when the past threatens to rip her away from him, he will stop at nothing to protect what's his.
Even if it means starting a war that will burn their enemies to the ground.
Enemies will rise. Blood will be spilled. And love will be tested like never before.
Some wars are fought with bullets.
Others are fought with fire.
But the deadliest battles are the ones waged in the heart.
