En débarquant dans la nouvelle vie de Cecelia, Tobias lui fait le serment qu'il va la reconquérir. Le combat n'est pas gagné : en dépit de la furieuse attirance qu'elle éprouve pour lui, la jeune femme n'est pas disposée à lui ouvrir les bras et à lui confier de nouveau son cœur. S'il veut avoir une chance, Tobias doit museler son instinct de contrôle et cesser ses dissimulations. Lui qui a toujours vécu dans le culte du secret va peu à peu se dévoiler, livrant même à Cecelia des clés sur son passé et sur leur relation.

"Et puisque je dois me damner, autant savourer la brûlure des flammes." Depuis que Sean et Dominic ont brutalement coupé les ponts, Cecelia se morfond à Triple Falls en attendant la fin de son séjour forcé. Et en même temps, elle ne peut s'empêcher de penser à ses deux amants et à l'été de rêve qu'ils ont partagé. Un jour débarque chez elle l'homme responsable de leur silence : le Français. Et il ne cache pas l'intensité de la haine que Cecelia lui inspire. Car elle est en position de bouleverser les plans que l'organisation Ravenhood met en place depuis des années.

Tobias King ha pasado la mayor parte de su vida en las sombras. Es un lobo solitario, un ladrón, y ni siquiera él negaría que es un villano. Como el enigmático líder de la banda de justicieros conocida como Ravenhood, su propósito siempre lo ha conducido por una única senda: la de la venganza. Pero se ve obligado a detenerse en seco cuando se interpone en su camino la única mujer que podría destruirlo todo. Sabe que dejarse consumir por Cecelia Horner tendrá consecuencias terribles.

Cecelia Horner estaba preparada para pasar un año aburrido, pero aquel verano se convirtió en el más emocionante de su vida tras conocer a Sean y a Dominic. El descubrimiento de que ambos son miembros de Ravenhood, una banda secreta de justicieros, desestabiliza por completo a Cecelia. Además, en la cima de la organización se encuentra un hombre misterioso, apodado por todos como «el Francés», quien quiere a Cecelia bien lejos de sus hombres y de su misión.

El trato es simple: Cecelia Horner debe pasar un año en la pequeña localidad de Triple Falls, viviendo con su padre y trabajando en su fábrica. A cambio, él costeará sus estudios y, además, le dará una pequeña fortuna con la que Cecelia podrá ayudar a su madre. Pero todo cambia cuando conoce a Sean en su primer día de trabajo. Él le presenta a sus amigos, incluido el enigmático Dominic: un grupo de chicos que parece vivir según sus propias normas, unidos por un enorme secreto y el mismo tatuaje de un cuervo.

„Die einzige Liebe, die ich je gekannt habe, ist die, die mich krank macht – krank vor Sehnsucht, vor Lust, vor Kummer. Die Art von Liebe, die Narben und gebrochene Herzen hinterlässt.” Trotz der enormen Anziehung steht die Beziehung zwischen Tobias und Cecelia auf unstetem Grund. Tobias tut sich schwer damit Nähe zuzulassen, Cecelia kämpft wiederum damit, Tobias nach allem, was passiert ist, zu vertrauen. Was sie nicht weiß: Tobias hat gute Gründe für sein Verhalten und diese liegen weit in der Vergangenheit verborgen.

"Ich habe getan, was Diebe tun. Ich habe dich gestohlen..." Was für Cecelia Horner wie ein langweiliges Jahr begann, entwickelte sich zum Sommer ihres Lebens, nachdem sie Sean, Dominic und die Bruderschaft der Raben kennengelernt hat. Doch mit der Rückkehr von Tobias, dem Anführer der Gruppe, endet ihr neu gewonnenes Glück jäh. Dem gefährlichen Franzosen ist Cecelia ein Dorn im Auge, denn sie könnte seine lange geschmiedeten Rachepläne durchkreuzen. Cecelia wiederum hat allen Grund Tobias für das, was er ihr angetan hat, zu hassen.

"Sei ganz ehrlich: Wenn du dich nicht zwischen uns entscheiden müsstest, würdest du es dennoch tun?" Der Deal ist simpel: Ein Jahr lang soll die 19-jährige Cecelia zu ihrem entfremdeten Vater nach Triple Falls ziehen und in dessen Fabrik arbeiten, im Gegenzug erhält sie Zugang zu seinem Vermögen. Angewiesen auf das Geld, um ihrer kranken Mutter helfen zu können, willigt Cecelia ein – nichts ahnend, dass sie als Tochter des Chefs dort nicht den einfachsten Start haben wird. Doch das ändert sich, als sie Sean kennenlernt.

For the last ten years, I've roamed the globe, captivated by the world around me. I've seen the seven wonders and admired sunsets from every continent. I've lived and loved, and that was enough for me. It would have to be. I was content, satisfied with my collection of experiences... until a phone call led me down a road less traveled. If I'd known my fascination would pique and be forever quenched only a few hundred miles from where my curiosity had been born, I may have never set sail.

We fell in love in a lightning strike. He knew right away, yet I was hesitant. I could have never prepared myself for a love like ours. No one could. As a child, I had conjured an amazing story in my mind. It was a story I could retell about a man who would move me like no other, a story about the way we met and how he had swept me off my feet. But the ending to that fairytale was so far from the reality. No one will want to hear that story now, but for Grant, I will always tell it.

To me, that's all Lucian Aston is—a highly sophisticated, posh Englishman who stars in my daydreams. Mostly because of the way he views me as a loud, boisterous, no-nonsense surgical nurse he's stuck touring London and Paris with up to the day of his groundbreaking surgery. Until then, we've got a lot of downtime to kill. So, it's only natural that I put my best foot forward to get to know him a little better. Problem is Lucian has no intention of taking a single step in his fancy wingtips to meet me halfway. That is until we strike our deal.

Briggs: Remember when we parted ways in Germany? It was the day I broke your heart. What you didn't know was that I was breaking mine too. I thought they'd be enough - my husband and my son. That I'd get home and everything would go back to the way it was...before the war. Before the ambush. Before you. But, no matter how hard I try, I can't erase the trauma we shared. I can't seem to forget the way my heart beat in time with yours. I thought the nightmare was over when they pulled us from that hole in the ground, but nothing could have prepared me for the war I'd face at home.
