With her loyalty, and unexpected courage, she begins to see the man behind the mask… the man Steven no longer believes he can be. When old enemies rise and betrayal hits too close, Sinclair must choose to either cling to the darkness that made him… or fight for the love he never saw coming. What will he do? Will his mission to seek revenge stand? Will he choose love over everything?
