New Orleans was a powder keg, teetering on the brink of explosion.
I, Isabelle "Izzy" Beaumont, the Mayor's daughter, believed I could save it.
I offered myself in a desperate union to Jackson "Jax" Moreau, the charismatic gang leader I once loved, hoping to bridge the chasm between our warring worlds.
But Jax's "union" was a brutal charade.
He betrayed me, wiping out my family – my father mauled by his dogs, my brother crushed, my mother shamed to death.
I became his prisoner, forced to watch as New Orleans burned and my world crumbled.
Confined to a crumbling outbuilding, I endured constant torment.
He even ordered the abortion of our unborn child.
