He was the brother she was told to stay away from. Now, only he could protect her. Azzianna's honeymoon should have been a dream. Instead, it turned into a nightmare. On the luxury cruise ship Northern Star, she entered her room and found her husband Julian with her best friend. The betrayal was more painful than she could bear.

Will she run from the man who broke her heart, or will she trust her "dangerous" brother who promises to burn the world to keep her safe?
