author: Basset, Linzi
description: This is Part 2 of book 1 in the Club Wicked Cove series and must be read in sequence. In Part 1, Ceejay Powell found love and absolution, for her guilt, in the arms of Colt Fargo, the owner of Club Wicked Cove, until his dark past reared its head in the form of the Occhipinti organization..
  Colt now returns to find himself at the helm of the most feared and powerful American crime family, to reprise his role as The Devil’s Spawn, a name replete with evil. A phone call jars loose recent memories that he had compartmentalized in the back of his mind and spins his world upside down. Enraged by the turn of events he travels back to Jacksonville to avenge the deceit.
  Ceejay finds it impossible to associate Damiano Vitale with the man that she once loved. Soon, her secret is revealed, pushing Damiano to violate every emotion he had ever held as rage blinds him to anything but retribution and turning his love for Ceejay, into hate.
  When a demented psychopath comes along, the bond they once had and tried to repair becomes endangered of being destroyed forever.
  This tale is wrought in depth with the fullest scope for which the human condition is accountable:  love, hate, violence, betrayal and death. Will Damiano be acquitted in the court of public opinion for his crimes of passion or will he be found guilty and condemned to a life of misery and self-loathing?
