He shattered my world. Now he wants the son he never knew existed.

But if Blaise wants us, he'll have to find us first—and survive what's coming.

For three quiet years, I've lived as Emma Walsh—a ghost in a sleepy Maine town. A bookkeeper. A mother. A woman with a past carved in secrets and blood. Every six months, we run. New names. New homes. New lies. Lucas thinks it's a game. He doesn't ask why he has no father. He doesn't know his sharp jaw and pale green eyes belong to a man the world fears—Blaise Romano, Chicago's most wanted ghost. A king without a crown. A killer without mercy.

But ghosts don't stay buried forever.

Now Blaise is coming. And we're not the only ones on the board.

🔹 The Romano family wants revenge—for the empire Blaise destroyed. 🔹 The FBI wants leverage—and they think I'm holding the key. 🔹 And from the shadows of his prison cell, Ronan Kean is pulling strings, buying us time with blood and favors. But even his power has limits.

They've all found us. One town. One storm-swept night. And when the dust settles, someone won't make it out alive.

Love was never supposed to survive this war. But it left me with a son—and a reason to fight.
