Tensions and passions rise in the city that never sleeps in this propulsive novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan's Shadow Riders series.

As the head of the New York City Shadow Riders and his branch of the Ferraro family, Geno bears the weight of dual responsibilities on his broad shoulders.

Now, she has no way to hide her true reason for being in New York--and nowhere to run from the man who's very presence steals the very breath from her lungs....
