When empath Gyda St. Germaine is rescued from a sex-trafficking ring, she vows vengeance on her tormentors. Aided by two distinct personalities who bolster her powers, she becomes a vigilante, hungry for revenge. Her path of retribution tosses her into the arms of an Order of Themis Siphon and her world is turned upside down. Fighting her past takes a backseat to her all-consuming desire for the man whose honor and sense of justice go against everything she believes.

The moment electricity manipulator Brit Harper stumbled across a feral woman with a bloody knife, his lifechanged. Black and white becomes gray as the scales of justice tip. Fascinated by her strength and the darkness in her eyes, he vows to teach her the true meaning of justice and help her explore the passion sizzling between them. But when the evil haunting Gyda’s dreams returns in the flesh, he’ll have to choose between his beliefs and the woman he loves.

ABOUT DANICA AVET

Danica Avet was born and raised in the wilds of South Louisiana (that would be somewhere around Houma) where mosquitoes are big enough to carry off small children and there are only two seasons: hot and hotter. With a BA in History, she figured there were enough fry cooks in the world and decided to try her hand at writing.

Danica is the lucky pet of a compulsively needy dog and two cats. The pitter-patter of little feet has been known to make her break out into a cold sweat.

Writing is how she gives the voices in her head a way out. When she isn’t writing, working or contemplating the complexities of the universe, she spends time gathering inspiration from her insane family, reads far more than any sane person would want to, and watches hot burly men chase an oblong ball all over a field

Favorite Quotes:

As she crept through the alleys back to her hotel room, Sixteen thought about that man with the deep-brown eyes and dark hair and her heart began to pound again. She’d been worried one of Mendoza’s men might interrupt her playtime, but the man who’d walked in hadn’t been one of the bastard’s men. He couldn’t have been. The instant she’d seen him, her body had frozen in shock and awe. It wasn’t as though she hadn’t seen good-looking men, hadn’t fucked some of them when she was able to escape Gyda’s prissy ways, but this man had left her stunned.

He’d smelled strongly of ozone and musk, a heady combination that made her pussy wet thinking about it now. His features bordered on pretty with thick eyelashes, full, sensual lips and a cleft chin, but the slightly crooked nose saved him from looking as though he belonged in a boy band. He was thickly muscled but moved with grace and the ink peeking from beneath his tight black t-shirt made her fingertips tingle with the need to trace his tattoos.

Troy nodded with an impressed grin. “She nailed Brit so hard I’m positive she kicked his balls into last week. How’re the boys, Brit?”

He didn’t answer, although he liked knowing his girl could take care of herself. She just didn’t have to take care of herself anymore. Not with him around. And yeah, he was totally aware he was calling her his girl in his mind. So the fuck what? He’d known from the minute he saw her at Mendoza’s that she was his. She just didn’t know that yet, but as soon as things calmed down, as soon as Joe was sure they could erase some of the bad things Gyda had done over the years and brought her into the O.T. fold, he’d make sure she knew. She’d probably kick his ass for it, or try, but it would be worth it.

Her gaze searched his face for something and apparently she found it, because a small, sweet smile curled her lips. His heart lurched in his chest. Goddamn, she was beautiful and his. All his. He gentled his hold on her hair, but couldn’t make himself let go of the thick, cool strands. The silver hoop in her nose and along her ears twinkled against skin that glowed with arousal. Her lips were puffy and dark pink from his kisses and her body had settled into his, giving him her weight without a sliver of space between them.

She wanted him.

It was heaven.

This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

OMG!!!! What a hot, sex, and electrifying story literally. Gyda is a character who has been through so much in her life. She was kidnapped, abused, tortured mentally, physically and sexually.  She closed herself off by having alter ego’s “Sixteen and Tora the Beast”. I really did love what she did to the sadistic rapists.  So she could escape her demons she would cut herself.  That was until she met Brit.

Brit was a member of the Order of Themis Syphon Sup and they were all about justice. He was a man who believed in honor and justice no matter what.  He also was electrifying literally, he was hot sexy and anyone who looked into his eyes they would melt and be hot and bothered. 

There are so many twists and turns in this story that it keeps you wanting to read more and more.  You also immediately get just home attracted Brit and Gyda are from the first time they met.  You want so badly to see it work out for her and him.

Will her past keep them from being together? Or will Brit break through the wall she built?
