After years of redeeming her brutal and sordid past as the fortune tellerβs daughter, Nathalie can finally see the promise of a happy future.

Alex knows that Nathalie carries painful scars, but she believes there is no wound of the heart that love cannot healβuntil Nathalie confesses to the unthinkable. Devastated and heartbroken, Alexβs cold, bitter anger leaves no room for forgiveness.
With her motherβs criminal secrets suddenly at risk of exposure, Nathalieβs last desperate gift means confronting her childhood terrors to protect Alex from her familyβs vicious intent. But can any sacrifice be enough to save Alex or ultimately redeem the fortune tellerβs daughter?
