Frankie

I don’t have to hide behind a mask anymore.
I rule New York.
It’s time to finish what I started ten years ago—destroy the man who took my life.
No one can get in my way.
That is, until I’m arrested for murder and have my first taste of Detective Zara O’Reilly.
The woman is hell-bent on ruining my plans.
She thinks I don’t know she’s watching my every move, waiting to drag me back into that prison cell.
She can pretend I’m the enemy all she likes.
In reality, she craves me as much as I do her.
No matter how much we fight it, my stalker becomes my obsession.
She doesn’t realize the power she holds over not only me but the city.
Together, we will be unstoppable . . . if she lets me break her.
