Description
Turning Point - Book TWO of The Cardinal Trilogy: In the rock-strewn world of the TIF, naivety is a luxury one cannot afford. Xenia, realizing her outsider status among the organization, makes a daring escape, insisting never to look back - not even her complicated relationship with Romano can sway her resolve. Starting anew under an alias, with unfamiliar faces and a different job, she believes she's carved out a safe haven, far from Romano's reach. But a desperate pact is about to sinisterly shatter her illusion of safety. After five months of evading Romano's relentless pursuit, a twist of fate exposes her carefully constructed new life to him, the one person who should never know she still exists. Romano's return isn't just about reclaiming her; it's a chaotic blend of protection and destruction, adoration and condemnation, solving her problems all the while concocting new ones. He holds the answers to her questions, she hold the ones to his, but at what cost? As irreversible mistakes pile up and their emotions stagger on the brink, Xenia confronts the dark reality of Romano's world and finds herself wanting no part of it. However, Romano's addiction burns so vigorously that even the taste of her sins is tormenting, yet tempting. Romano knows they can never exist in a perfect world; duty clashes with desire, pleasure battles with power. Faced with an impossible choice - kill or be killed - his once clear-cut decisions blur into uncertainty. If he can't have her, no one will. If he can't kill her, no one should. If she's under his wings, no one else could be soaring above her. But when his loyalty to the TIF is pitted against her survival, will he risk everything for love, or submit to the ruthless pursuit of power?
