She never expected to find Julian Jennings. >But her freedom is a dangerous illusion. Grayson Wells is closing in. Ruthless, powerful, and convinced that everyone has a price, he is determined to claim Abigail at any cost. Yet Grayson is the least of her worries.

Julian will risk everything to protect the woman he loves. But some secrets are written in blood, and when a devastating past refuses to stay buried, keeping their fated bond alive may demand a price neither of them is prepared to pay.
