He Should've Stayed Gone: She Didn't Raise a Victim

By Ashleigh Noelle

She thought she hired a shield.
She invited the executioner into the castle.

Four years ago, Sammie Hamilton swung a cast-iron pan, put her ruthless kingpin husband in a coma, and vanished into the night with her daughter, Lydia.
They survived.
They rebuilt.
She thought they were safe.
She was wrong.

Lydia is no longer a terrified runaway. She is Madam Salacious-the untouchable, commanding queen of SucIncu Priv , Baltimore's most exclusive VIP club. She has transformed her childhood trauma into a lucrative empire built on the absolute submission of powerful men. But when word hits the streets that Nasir "Poker" Hamilton has woken from his coma and is hunting them down, the fortress they built threatens to crumble.
In a deadly game of chess where trauma is currency and loyalty is a liability, the board is set for war.

But who will make the final move?
