ABOUT THE BOOK
Empath Liam Whelan is determined to protect Laxshmi “Lucky” Kapadia, the girl he loves, at all costs–even if it means breaking her heart to keep her alive. Heartbroken and plagued by doubts, Lucky meets the ruthless Minister Gagliardi who gives her a mind-blowing explanation for her predicament. Acting as her apparent savior, he provides her with an escape from her hell: run away with him or return to her drab existence and watch Liam move on with her heart in his hands.
