Grandfather tried to prepare me for everything…

Yet, how could anyone prepare me for this?

Kidnapping.

Blackmail.

Deception.

Grief.

Vengeance.

The Royals have always been about blood. Blood lines, blood relations, and the spilling of blood. I didn't ask for this war. I didn't go looking for it.

But I will let nothing and no one keep me from the men I love and we will find what was taken from us. No one will ever steal from us again.

They say desperation makes for strange bedfellows, fortunately, the men in my bed are far more dangerous to everyone else.

It's time for a change in leadership, one way or another, the Bay Ridge Royals are going down in flames. Once it's all ashes—then we can rebuild.
