"When two young adults stumble upon drug smugglers, Johnny Delaney is killed and his best friend, Jamie, barely escapes with her life. Now, she is on the run.
Johnny's killer is Joseph "Joe Boy" Provencenti, the maverick heir to Tampa's most powerful Mafia family. Anxious to end the threat of her testimony, he brings in one of the mob's most talented, twisted killers. On the run for her life and at the end of all hope, Jamie discovers the ultimate paradigm; and with it, she finds the secret that could save her life and give her love everlasting. But will she accept it?"
