Bleu MacAllister is consumed. A horrific childhood incident has caused every decision in her life to revolve around bringing a monster to justice. With years spent studying The Fellowship, an organized crime brotherhood of liars, thieves, and killers, Bleu will rely on her skills as a special agent to cut Thane Breckenridge off at the knees. But walking hand in hand with retribution means risking collateral damage, in the form of Breckenridgeβs son Sinclairβuntil Sin becomes so much more than Bleu bargained for. Sheβs always known this undertaking would place her life in dangerβshe never imagined her heart would be as well.
Sinclair Breckenridgeβs POV:
βIβm in the business of boundaries and limits. Iβm aware of what mine are and how far Iβm willing to go to get my job accomplished. It can include lying and sometimes stealing.β I wait a moment for driving the last nail into the coffin. βAnd perhaps the occasional killing.β
βHow do you feel when you do those things?β
βPowerful.β I purposely choose that word because itβs the one she used to describe how she felt when she brought Duff to his knees. I want her to see just how similar we are.
She watches out the window for a minute before speaking again. βDo you like the way it feels?β
I canβt lie. I get a high from it. βVery much.β
Another minute passes. βOkay.β
What? βJust β¦ okay?β
βWould you like me to be horrified?β she asks. βI can do that if it would make you feel better or improve your opinion of me.β
Sheβs no fucking Pollyanna. So I guess thereβs no reason for her to pretend to be. βNo. Okay works for me.β
Iβm not sure if I should be disturbed by her lack of appall. It feels like a double standard to be shocked by an absence of dismay.
My God, has the pot met the kettle? βI wish I could get inside your head.β
βNo, you donβt,β she says. βMy mind is a dark place to be.β
I think I may have met the perfect woman. In her eyes, Iβm not a monster at all.
Bleu MacAllister is in hiding less than three months when Sinclair Breckenridge discovers her whereabouts. Her former lover, the future leader of a criminal organization known as The Fellowship, resists the tug of his heart heartstrings in her direction. Instead, he opts to watch over his beloved from afar. And she has no idea. But Sin’s sacrifice is short-lived. His bonny lass is a hunted traitor. He fears Abram’s assassins are closing in, leaving him with one solution for saving Bleu–make her his wife. Marriage seems an easy fix for their dilemma but wedded bliss is brief when the couple finds trouble lying in wait beyond the realm of the brotherhood. Will the original revenge seeker find herself the object of collateral damage?
Complicated circumstances have rendered her helpless to escape their clutches
so she must await rescue by her less than lily-white knight. All is right again
when sheβs back in the arms of the man she loves until long buried secrets are
unearthed. With them, Bleu finally discovers her motherβs killer along with far
more than she could possibly imagine. Can she find happiness with a husband who
will go to any length to keep her safe, even if it means denying her of the one
thing she believes she wants most in this world?
husband, Jeff, and their two beautiful daughters. She spent fourteen years as a
labor and delivery nurse before she decided to pursue her dream of becoming an
author and hasnβt looked back yet.
sheβs being domestic, sheβs listening to her iPod and visualizing scenes for
her current work in progress. Every story coming from her always has a song to
inspire it.
