Deacon
I was ordered to kill Reva Hart fifteen years ago.
I didn’t. She became a buried secret, a dead girl no one would ever find.
That should’ve been the end of it.
But Reva came back to New Orleans with revenge in her heart, my name on her lips, and no idea who still wanted her in the ground.
She thinks I’m the monster from her nightmares, and she’s not entirely wrong.
I was there the night her family was murdered. I know what happened in that house.
Most importantly, I know why the Syndicate—the ruthless cartel that raised me, trained me, and owns more of New Orleans than anyone wants to admit—still considers Reva unfinished business.
Mother Superior will not tolerate a ghost walking back into her kingdom.
Reva should be afraid of her. She should be afraid of both of us.
Instead, she’s furious. Reckless. Tempting.
She belongs under Nash’s ruthless protection, Shiloh’s wicked charm and Ever’s steady hands.
All of that is fine. She also belongs to me.
But keeping Reva alive means betraying the only world I have ever served. It means exposing dark family secrets, cartel bloodlines, sister lies, and the truth behind the massacre that made her who she is.
The Syndicate does not forgive betrayal. Mother Superior does not forget disobedience.
But this time, when the order comes for Reva Hart, I will not step aside.
I will burn the whole city before I let them bury my little ghost again.
A dark, why choose romance with possessive antiheroes, New Orleans gothic atmosphere, cartel danger, touch-her-and-die protection, forced proximity, deadly secrets, revenge, and high-heat romance. One-click now to preorder Book 2 in The Rosary Marks series.
