“West Side Story” meets “The Godfather” in this twisty thriller from New York Times bestselling author Christina Dodd. A deadly blast sends a woman into hiding to escape the killer family feud…
Four year old Maarja Daire saw her mother ignite an explosion that killed a man—and herself—to save Maarja’s life. Maarja’s been on the run ever since…
Now she rejects the ancient vendetta that ripped her childish world apart. She hides in plain sight as a fine arts mover, transporting priceless belongings. Work for a new client brings her to the mansion where the fateful blast occurred. There she meets Dante Arundel, scarred and brooding, the Arundels’ ruthless boss. He watches her with dark intent…but does he remember her? Will he use her to take his revenge? When she leaps into the flames to rescue his mother, he recognizes her courage…and the opportunity fate has created.
When Dante vows to end the feud, his hidden enemies see the opportunity to destroy his power. Maarja refuses to be used, but what happens between them in the darkness sets their worlds on fire.
Bound together by destruction, Dante and Maarja must navigate uncharted depths of betrayal and loss to create a new beginning…before the flames of the vendetta consume them. — GIRL ANONYMOUS
