I am the pawn in a twisted game of revenge. Two men want me, but for entirely different reasons. The one I love must avoid me at all costs. If he doesn't, I'll be slaughtered by his enemy - Alain Dumortier. If James Leveritt touches the same woman twice, she's dead. Do I fear death? No. Is it something I want drawn out over two weeks as my lover watches me slowly bleed to death? That would be another no. I need to figure a way out of this mess that won't end in pain, death, and destruction. I want my life back. It will not be easy - it might even be impossible - but if I go down, I'm going down fighting.
