Lejla Nikolas

A thriller about challenging expectations of good and evil

 

Jaimee and Conner find themselves in each others' lives after Jaimee's drug delivery goes wrong. Conner was both a cop and a criminal, he would know what to do.

Conner, now estranged from his posh country-dwelling family, is left to pick up the pieces. When Jaimee seeks his help, he grudgingly gives in and decides to take her to meet his family in the country.

Both force each other to face their worst flaws. What is Jaimee's past, and what has Conner done to end up in prison?

The situation escalates, and now they have an urban gang on their heels, an angry drug lord, and too many temptations for both to revert to their old selves.

What seems to Jaimee like a ticket out of her old life throws her deeper into the underworld than she's been before.

And will Conner save her or drag her deeper below?

Jaimee has just been pursued, beaten, and pretty much raped, and the police officer just asks if she’s okay? Uh . . . and then she says it ‘was just a mugging’? She’s either really scared of Emmett or really happy to just be rescued to talk like that, or both. I don’t know what to make of the cops. Conner’s right in that Emmett will assume that Jaimee sold him out, so she’s got reason to be worried now. That she’s proud that “After so many years, I haven’t starved, I haven’t been caught, I haven’t been killed, become addicted to drugs, or given into prostitution” is interesting for her to say so quickly (apart from the fact that she was caught), although I was expecting her to break down at some point. Anyone would.
