I remember reading this book soon after it first came out, in 2014 or 2015, and one of the most memorable scenes – so memorable it stuck with me for eight years – was a line about the hero, Carmine, giving a girl an ‘angry dragon’. I have to say, I HATE it when authors go back and rewrite their old books just to make them more ‘acceptable’ or PC or whatever. But how much will they have to sacrifice? Can they escape their pasts? And, most of all, what does it mean to be free? Murder and betrayal are a way of life, and nothing comes without a price-especially not freedom. In a world full of chaos, where money and power rule, Haven and Carmine yearn to break free, but a string of events that began before either of them were born threatens to destroy them instead. Entangled in a web of secrets and lies, they learn that while different on the surface, they have more in common than anyone would think. Now, a twist of fate causes their worlds to collide. Carmine, born into a wealthy Mafia family, lived a life of privilege and excess. Haven Antonelli and Carmine DeMarco grew up under vastly different circumstances. Haven, a second-generation slave, was isolated in the middle of the desert, her days full of hard work and terrifying abuse.
