Journey deeper into the world of Chicago's most dangerous, alluring crime family in this incendiary installment of the Shadow Riders series from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christine Feehan. Shadow rider Elie Archambault has been called many things: domineering, brash, loyal—but, most of all, fast. And there's nothing faster than choosing to marry a woman you've never met. All he has are a signed contract and a list of his new bride's expectations for their arranged marriage. He's not expecting love or some happy ever after, just a partner who knows exactly what she signed up for. He'll be faithful because he's a man of honor, but she'll never have his heart. ... Elie knows who he is. A privileged member of the Archambault family. A skilled rider and fighter. A man who's always had things easy for all the wrong reasons. He's made his mistakes and lost his chance at real, true passion with his other half thanks to his own careless arrogance. Now he just wants to do his duty as a shadow rider and leave the past behind. But Elie has no idea that his choice is about to spark a blaze that will burn all his carefully laid plans to the ground. ...
