They murdered her family.
When the Prairie Jackals slaughter her entire family, Rosalie is left sprinting alone in the darkness with nothing but her grief and a burning rage. Taken in by another outlaw gang, Rosalie is bound by honor to the Black Lanterns - a brotherhood of dangerous men who live by their own code. Among them, she finds two men willing to risk everything for her.
Colt Rawlins - the bloodhand, is a dangerous, possessive, and fiercely protective man who would stop at nothing to keep Rosalie safe.
Blackbear Boone - the gang's other bloodhand, is a man haunted by his own past that somehow becomes one of the few places Rosalie feels free.
But safety never lasts.
When the ruthless leader of the Jackals, Sawyer Slade, catches sight of Rosalie's bright red hair, it ignites a burning fire in him that he believes only Rose can extinguish. What starts as an obsession becomes a deadly pursuit as murders pile up and sinister plots unfold. The Black Lanterns are forced into a fight where betrayal can come from the closest hand and loyalty may demand the ultimate sacrifice.
When the guns come out and the blood begins to spill, Rosalie must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for those who swore to protect her and what she is willing to become to destroy the man who took everything from her.
