Gloria Jackson must keep her family safe, no matter the cost. Trapped in the crossfire of a brutal mafia war, she agrees to a peace forged in blood: marriage to Caolan O'Rourke, the cold heir of a rival empire, and the younger brother of the man who murdered her sister.
She doesn't know this man. She doesn't trust this man. But this contract will save her family.
Now, her wedding day looms, but Gloria isn't ready. Only God can protect her, except ... her newfound faith is dwindling, and so is her resolve. Caolan may not be Prince Charming, but he isn't such a terrible man after all, and that's what terrifies her. Falling for her husband means staying in a world of darkness and blood. The same world that took her sister. Gloria won't let it take her.
She must run and she must do it now. But Caolan will find her wherever she goes.
