From the Chrysalis

By Karen E. Black

Book Overview

Book 1 in the Devereux Cousins Trilogy: From the Chrysalis. Liza's bad-boy cousin, the handsome, magnetic D'Arcy "Dace" Devereux is nothing but trouble. Falling in love with him can only make things worse. Especially for a fourteen-year-old girl who knows more about books and monarch butterflies than she does about men. The cousins' mutual infatuation flares into an obsession long before Liza is out of her teens. Even when Dace is arrested for manslaughter and sent to a penitentiary, their feelings don't change.When she's old enough, Liza enrolls in a local university to be closer to him, but a deadly prison riot breaks out and Dace is forced to make decisions that will jeopardize both their relationship and his life. He's always been loyal to his old buddies-too loyal some say.Although the cousins spend one wonderful summer together when he's briefly paroled, Dace is still drawn to trouble like the monarchs to Mexico. In the end, nobody-not the biker gangs, the authorities or his own demons-is going to let him go. The only way they can both break out and fly free is if Liza walks away. But how can she leave him when he has become her whole life?
