Now Ruby and her daughter are being used as pawns by the most powerful people in the city and only Roman can stop them.
And he will stop them.
But when Roman wages war to save Ruby and her daughter, his actions light a match to the delicately balanced tinder of power in New York City.
As the city burns, putting at risk everything he's worked for, the only thing he cares about is getting the woman he loves out alive - and earning her trust when trusting him is the last thing she should do.
This is the St. James Syndicate. And it's not your mother's Mob.

Her work has also been an Indie Next selection and has appeared on prestigious lists such as the Lonestar List, New York Public Library's Stuff for the Teen Age, and Chicago Public Library's Best of the Best. Her books have been published in over thirty countries and translated into over twenty languages.
