But just when she thought she’d finally found the perfect lover, everything came crashing down when she discovered he’s had an ugly past that she couldn’t ignore. Cookie’s heart was broken, yet she thought she could do without him until her ex arrived in her life again, to start a new bout of trouble. With no one to run to except Jamie, and with so many unshared secrets looming over them, she’s forced to make a decision that would either reap out her heart for the second time or mend her broken relationship with Jamie.

*His eyes scanned my bruised face, searching for answers. A careful, gentle hand caressed my cheek, intensifying the turmoil in his gaze. "He did this to you." It wasn't a question; it was a statement. But I couldn't find my voice, trapped in frozen silence. Fear gnawed at my skin as I stood amidst cold-blooded killers, surrounded by chaos and lifeless bodies. And as he held the gun, I knew more bodies would soon drop.* *** To everyone else, she was a nobody. A vessel for their perverse desires, a desperate pawn willing to fulfill their every whim.

"Jesus, Lily," he growled, "I TATTOOED YOUR NAME ON MY FUCKING CHEST!"*
