Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who called a corrupt
kingdom home sweet home.
Protected and sheltered from the worst the world had to offer, she fell
in love with the crumbling city that burned and blazed around her. Every
dirty corner, every scary shadow, found a place within her heart. So did
a man who was violent and dangerous, just like the streets she claimed
as her own. He was all business and brutality, except when it came to
her. With her, he was calm, caring, and heartbreakingly patient. He
warned her over and over that he wasn't the man for her, but she refused
to listen. She never expected either the streets or their enforcer to
hurt her, since she'd given her heart so completely to both.
She should have known the streets in the Point were always going to be
savage, and so was the man committed to keeping control of them in the
hands of criminals and bloody kingpins. Blindsided by a betrayal which
cut so deeply she was sure the wounds would never heal, the princess
fled the home she loved and the man who broke her heart. Throwing away
her rusted, twisted crown was supposed to help her forget. All it did
was make her long for everything she left behind. She told herself she
would never go back, but in this tormented kingdom, family is
everything. Eventually, she has no choice but to return.
While she was gone, the people who loved her worked hard to make the
city safe, and the man who destroyed her sank deeper into the darkness.
Going back shouldn't feel like surrender... but it does. As this pretty
princess hovers on the edge of the unknown, the past attacks with a
vengeance. It's a good reminder that puppy love eventually grows up and
turns into something with sharp teeth and one hell of a bite.
She never asked for the keys to the kingdom. She'd much rather go out
and build her own.
Jay's note to all of you awesome listeners out there: This is the
final book to the entire Point series.
