Nick Murphy has put it all on the line for Alexa Nash. Falling in love was never in the playbook, but now that Nick has Alexa, he’ll do anything to protect her. First on the list: destroying the Walker family for what they did to Alexa when she was a teenager. Second: convincing Alexa it doesn’t matter if they can’t have children—because she is everything to him. Alexa Nash has either lost everything or found her way home. After quitting her job at the Attorney General’s office, Alexa is all in with Nick Murphy and the family business. Determined to destroy Leland before the election, she puts her legal knowledge to work alongside the Murphy brothers’ more controversial methods, trying not to ask herself difficult questions about the slippery moral slope. But as Alexa attempts to adjust to life in the Murphy house, she must confront a terrible loss and the question of whether it’s really possible to heal with Nick. Then the Walkers deploy their wealth and power in an all-out war against the Murphys and the family has no choice but to respond in kind—forcing Alexa to consider the possibility that she may not live long enough to answer the question at all.
