Titus King sees the world in black and white. Right and wrong. Which is why as a teenager he left behind the only family he’d ever known to make a better life for himself. Now a police detective in one of the worst cities in the country, he can’t deny his life has turned into a million different shades of gray.
The new criminal element in The Point has brought vengeance and destruction right to Titus’s front door, and the difference between right and wrong is nothing compared to keeping those he loves alive. To add to his already strained moral compass, the beautiful and mysterious Reeve Black has made her way back to town, and she might be as dangerous to Titus as the guy trying to destroy the Point because he needs her—in more ways than one.
Reeve knows all about how ruthless this new threat to destroy The Point can be… and instead of running away, she wants to help. She has a lot to repent for and saving the city, plus the hot cop that she hasn’t been able to forget might just be the only way she can finally find some inner peace.
With an entire city poised on the brink of war, Titus and Reeve stand in the crossfire—and it will take two brave souls to fight for the ultimate love.

The
car finally skidded to a stop in a shower of gravel and dust. The headlights
illuminated the drop-off in front of us. The moon was high in the sky, forcing
its way through smog and clouds to shine silver. It was the same color as
Titus’s eyes when he was turned on, when he was buried deep inside of me.
“I
haven’t had my parents in my life for a long time, so I shouldn’t feel like I
lost them. But I do.”
“I
felt that way when I locked Bax up. I knew he wouldn’t understand that I had to
do my job, and when he got out, the first time I saw him he punched me in the
face. He hated me.” He turned off the car and reached out a finger to twist a
piece of my long hair around it.
“Don’t
let Roark win. Once everything is settled, go back to them and make them understand.”
I
turned to look at him. He was fierce in the shadowy light. He was what heroes
were supposed to look like no matter the path he had taken to become one.
“I
don’t even know if I understand. At
the time it felt like my only choice. Now I’m not so sure.” I leaned across the
space separating us and brushed my knuckles across his still-bristly cheek. He
was almost in full beard mode and it looked so good on him. “Lately the only
thing I understand is you, Titus.”
He
lifted one of his dark eyebrows at me and asked, “What is it that you
understand about me, Reeve?”
“That
you make everything better. You make me better, and I might never be good
enough for you, but you make me feel like I can get close.”
One
of his hands slid down to my wrist and the next thing I knew he was guiding me
over the console and the emergency brake so that I was straddled across him
with my back to the steering wheel. I hadn’t been in a car like this with a boy
since I was a teenager. I kind of liked it. More than kind of.
“You
make everything better too, Reeve, and there is no good enough because this with you is the best there has ever
been.” And then his mouth was on mine and I didn’t get a chance to tell him we
had left this behind and were now
firmly venturing into more. Knowing
that Titus was flawed, that he had made some questionable choices on his road
to becoming the man he was today, made me love him even more. Where he was from
was even uglier than where I was from, and that was beautiful to me. So was the
way he was pulling on my clothes and kissing me along my throat.
