How does one pick up the pieces of their life after it has been obliterated by the person they mistakingly trusted?

Ryker Waterborn's heart is broken, and his wife is a killer. Their marriage is a sham, built on a foundation of murder, lies, and deceit. They're broken. Destroyed. Yet, even after hearing her confession, Ryker cannot leave Brynleigh in the pit.

In an act of foolish love, he makes a deal to set Brynleigh free. All she has to do is go back to her maker and find evidence that Jelisette de la Point is a traitor.

That's easier said than done, but Brynleigh is left with no choice. She can either accept the deal or rot behind bars. Worse than all that is her relationship with Ryker.

Once, she thought they'd get a happy ending. Now, an ocean divides them.

She broke the rules and fell in love, but is love powerful enough to save them?

This is the second half of Ryker and Brynleigh's duet and should be listened to after A Game of Love and Betrayal.

I don’t think I will buy the other books .
Good ending and honestly I wasn’t invested in the sister’s story therefore Im not interested in learning what will happen to her.

The first book was much better than this one

Had this preordered after loving the first book. I was so excited for this drop and was not disappointed. “My wife has arrived” ?! Obsessed with a badass FMC and the spice?? Incredible. The way the spicy scenes are written are so beautiful, I loved the emotions and feelings being described vs just saying the act was happening. I need more!!

THE ENDING ELAYNA??

Great story! Loved the characters. Captivating from the jump. I love a good vampire book, especially when SHE is the strong vampire.

Wonderful!

Good spice, decent characters. Hunger games mixed with fae and vampires… easy forgiveness. Seemed like the big story line got forgotten half way, but the story got back on track

The first book was better
