The second he spared Isabel's life, everything changed. The instinct to protect her charts the course, because every time he turns away from her, something turns him back. Doesn't change the fact that she doesn't belong in his world. Isabel's learning to hold her own, but nothing can prepare her for the life he is being called back into. Isabel can barely accept the dark deeds of Tristan's past-- a bloody history spelled out in a ledger she's more preoccupied with than he'd like. When an old associate sets a dangerous plan in motion, there's no turning back. -- adapted from jacket
