Ashley was born into the underworld as the bastard child of a kingpin and a prostitute -- a combination that should have killed her before she could walk. Instead, she survived. She clawed her way through poverty, abuse, and a marriage to a man who saw her as nothing more than a possession. When her first husband's cruelty finally pushed her past the point of endurance, Ashley walked away with nothing but the clothes on her back. Her second marriage is not born of love but of necessity. The Mafia Kingpin who takes her as his wife is a man of terrifying reputation and quiet intelligence. He knows exactly who Ashley is, where she came from, and what she is capable of. He does not want a trophy wife -- he wants a partner who understands the darkness of the world they inhabit. As Ashley settles into her new role, she discovers that the Kingpin's empire is under siege from enemies both within and without. Her first husband wants her back -- not out of love, but out of possessive rage. Her biological father resurfaces with debts and demands. And the Kingpin himself, despite his cold exterior, is beginning to show Ashley a tenderness she never experienced in her first marriage. The woman who was born to die must now decide what she is willing to fight for.
