Description

As the former mistress of a notorious crime boss, Angelica Barnes struggles to lead a normal life--but it seems that every avenue she takes is filled with pain, mayhem, and danger.

Angelica Barnes has been released from prison in Raleigh, North Carolina, having served a five-year sentence for being complicit in the illegal activities of her ex-boyfriend, Robert Santiago. She's a convicted felon and integrating back into society hasn't been easy--that is, until she accepts an offer she can't refuse and moves to New York City. But her hopeful dreams of a better life are shattered when she winds up having to fall back on her past life--pole dancing--to make ends meet.

Unbeknownst to Angelica, Santiago is waiting in the shadows, choosing the right moment to reel her back into his grasp. Unable to defend herself, Angelica becomes a prisoner in his posh house in the Hamptons. However, the murders of Angelica's ex-husband and his cousin have Santiago's name written all over them, and she realizes she might be his next victim. With the help of a friend, Angelica attempts a daring escape to be free of him forever. But will she ever really be free?
