by J. L. Beck (Author) My life used to be simple. Quiet. Safe. Until I fell in love with the dangerous billionaire arms dealer Callum Torrio. Our love story was doomed from the beginning. Forbidden. A temptation we couldn't touch. His secrets have the power to kill me, and when I discover the hidden truth and the part he played in my mother's death, I have no choice but to run. But nothing will stop him from keeping me by his side. A king needs his queen. Where do you hide when the pain becomes suffocating and the man you thought you knew turns out to be the villain? **This is book 2 in the Torrio Trilogy and is not a standalone.
