Salvation doesn’t exist.
It’s a lie people tell themselves in the dark, alone so their conscience might be eased. To give them hope that, in the end, we can all be forgiven.
Except we can’t.
And no amount of praying will change that.
For me there will be no redemption, and I will leave this world with the same black heart I entered it with.
The comfort in knowing who I am and what I am capable of keeps me warmer than any lie of having my soul saved.
Because I know the truth.
Because I know there is no Heaven.
And there is no Hell.
There is only the fall.
Michael has no one. No family. No Friends. And not a soul in the world cares about him, only a system that tried to break him.
With a strong dislike for establishments and conformity, he has lived his life as a rogue. A hired thug with no allegiances except to his own word.
Sofia has grown up in the shadow of her father—one of the most powerful drug lords in the city. She has vowed to bring him to justice, moving through the ranks of the Chicago PD in an effort to be as far removed from her father’s lifestyle as possible.
Two worlds collide when Michael shows up at her door, a gun in his hand and a look in his eyes that terrifies her. Suddenly, Sofia has a price on her head and Michael is the only one who can keep her out of the crossfire.

I received an ARC in exchange for and honest review...
Sofia comes from one of the most powerful families in Chicago, and when she turned her back on them, joining the force, they cast her out. For justice, she's been seeking her own investigation to not only take down her father, but other families out there who get away with what they do.
Unknown to her, her investigation is known. Not only by her father but from the others she's investigation. With a bounty now on her head she has no choice but to trust Michael, who shows up, a gun in his hand and orders to keep her safe.
What I thought would be a simple story of boy saves girl, turns out to be so much more.
Not only does Michael have his own demons, but there's also a twist to the story I didn't see coming that concerns him.
There was a whole love-hate thing I had for Michael. One minute he was charming, redeemable, and in the next he was an insufferable asshole who I thought was heartless. But his actions stem down to his up-bringing.
He and Sofia, they're like chalk and cheese. They don't match but in a way, they do. She helps him bare his burdens, making him feel and in return he makes her feel safe, something she's never truly felt.
I loved this story.
I am a little disappointed certain bits dragged, and that the ending didn't anything more away. The cliffhanger drove me mad but in a good way. I seriously can't wait for the next book.
So many dark twists and turns. It will have you hanging on to the edge of your seat, biting your nails, and wishing you had the next book.
This book is so much different than T.Gephart books. Its a risk she took and it's fallen in her favour because the book is brilliant. I know most people don't like authors going off genre and sometimes I understand but in this case, T.Gephart really proved herself. The writing is brilliant, the story-line gripping and thrilling and the ending just blows you away.
Make sure you check it out.
