"Thou shalt take the boy out of Manchester, but you cannot take Manchester out of the boy." Lee –
I’m a killer, a hardened criminal born into the underbelly of an unlawful world that my father crafted, and I am to be crowned the next King. I used to covet the dark; it has forever been my friend and forgives me my sins. A slither of light has dared me to hope, it has my house of cards tumbling all around me. From the moment I saw her I knew she would be my downfall, for how can something that shines so bright not burn? Yet, she is my salvation and I gladly walk the path that I have chosen….
Rose –
I cringe at my own shadow; dark corners of my mind forever torment me. I have yet to escape from my demons; they beseech me with every turn of my head. Yet lurking is a promise, a promise of things to come. It has my heart in a vice; squeezing the last dregs of a love I never thought I could feel again. From the moment I saw him I knew he would be my downfall, for how can something that smoulders so dark not singe? Yet, he is my redemption and I gladly walk the path that I have chosen…. “Thou shalt always protect the family.”

Review:
First I have to say that this is the first book I have read by Dawn and will not be the last. This book is freaking amazeballs! Just simply amazing! I mean think of watching Sons of Anarchy but only reading it. This is how amazing this book is.
We get to meet Rose. She is shy and timid and coming out of a domestic abuse relationship. She remains strong for her daughter and moves on with life. It is when she meets the mysterious Lee that she knows her house of cards is about to fall down for good and her world is about to be torn down.
Lee is a cold stone killer living the life of a bad boy times a million. He is set to take of the family business by becoming King once his father steps down. He is comfortable with this until he lays eyes on a beautiful Rose. He knows his world is about to shatter in a million pieces.
As these two go on the run with Rose's daughter they will have to fight hard to stay together because the underbelly world is not forgiving and they are coming for their pound of flesh!

Author Bio:
I was brought up in Manchester and I am now living in the beautiful Scottish borders with my three children.
I have enjoyed writing my story as I had a pretty hard upbringing and have suffered like everyone does over the years in different situations, but everyone has a story to tell.
I just hope my story can help someone out there who is, or has been through the same sorts of situations as myself.
