"On the New Orleans waterfront, everyone takes Glen for nothing more than a widowed dock dispatcher. No one suspects he is the unseen master of the entire port—a billionaire tycoon heading a corporate empire. For three years, he has hidden his wealth, all to find a woman who loves him for who he is, not his fortune, and give his ten-year-old son Aiden a mother.
Late one night, Aiden stumbles upon a gang smuggling operation on the docks and ends up with a gun pressed to his temple. A mysterious woman crashes onto the scene in her car and rescues him. Her name is Blanche. She has been on the run for three years with her six-year-old daughter, and in her possession is a hard drive powerful enough to put the entire East Coast mafia behind bars.
Two forces are hunting her relentlessly: Dylan, the young heir to the gang empire, and Victor—Glen’s own biological uncle.
The boy grows instantly attached to her and accepts her as his mother; the father starts digging into her past. Two souls forged in darkness, they circle each other with constant caution yet gradually learn to watch each other’s backs. In the end, they join forces to bring both the criminal syndicate and the traitor within the family to trial."
