Summary

"Love does not give, without taking. A sacrifice of equal value must be offered." Finally, they've merged, the Yin and the Yang. But is tethered love as beautiful a feel as it is a sight? What happens when the façade can no longer be held over watchful eyes? Control is his weapon, his armor against the storm of anxiety and the chaos of his world, but Jordanne must learn that mastery is not dominance: balance is. Treading the faint line between family man and crime lord has opened his eyes to the fact that one misstep could undo everything he's built. Ryleigh, at last basks in the life she once dreamt of the career that fulfills her, the family that steadies her, the peace that keeps her whole. Yet love, ever demanding whispers of a price. When she's forced to choose which pillar must fall, between her heart, her home, or her own peace... how will she choose? Has everything we've witnessed on the first leg of their journey prepared them for what is to come? Or will the foundation fracture under the weight of life and the cost of love?

This is the second book in the ICE series. The complete version of the first book is available for purchase on AMAZON or author's website www.rdhemley.com. I highly suggest you complete that book before attempting this leg of their journey. ❤️

The SAMPLE of BOOK 0I is free on this same platform. However, it only goes up to 50 chapters, not the complete 101.

The website only offers limited signed copies, while all unsigned copies can be purchased through Amazon independently.

ONLY a single chapter from BOOKII will be posted, to avoid any heavy BOOK 0I spoilers.

lblomme: I always love a story where good overcomes evil. The sad start, the growth, and ultimate strength of the main character was well done. The story never lagged and ultimately delivered a happy ending even for characters who were less than stellar. Well done!
