The page-turning trilogy continues... and the stakes just got deadly.

Ryder makes me feel safe for the first time in years -- but that doesn't mean he can save me.
Because someone's still out there.
And they won't stop until I'm dead.

This journey leaves me with only two choices:
Do I keep pushing down the dark path toward retribution for my family?
Or do I finally let myself fall for the first man to crack my steel-encased heart?

He hurt me.
He lied to me.
But I was wrong, wasn't I?
So damn wrong.

I'm at a crossroad.
No matter which way I turn, I'm fucked.
Ryder or retribution?
Love or loss?

This life of mine isn't a fairy tale.
I know I can't have both.
