Dawn to Darkness
After a failed kidnapping attempt, Kat travels to Paris in search of asylum from the crime syndicate that’s still after her. Stress drives a wedge between her and Maksim, and their breakup leaves them more vulnerable than ever…and not just with the crime syndicate. Maksim’s ex-girlfriend (a French model) wants him back, and she’s turning him against Kat. The cops aren’t buying Kat’s story, either, and one of Maksim’s old friends might be leading Kat astray (in more ways than one).
The chess pieces are in place. The crime boss has Kat right where he wants her.
