Soon she canât resist the temptation to get close. Where Henryâs mother sees a poor girl in need, his father sees only wickedness. When Henry forges an unexpected bond with Eve, he believes he might be able to save her. He doesnât know how wrong he is.Eve is about to take charge of her own destinyâand that of Henryâs family. As both their worlds spin violently out of control, Henry must make an impossible choice: protect the broken woman whoâs claimed a piece of his soul, or put everyone he loves at risk in order to do the right thing.
