Chicago's Thorned Rose

How many betrayals can one woman endure before her heart turns to ice? For five years, Kate Ashford survived the cruel whims of a husband who replaced her with ninety-nine sugar babies and a mistress determined to dance on her family’s graves. But when the man who promised to protect her becomes the architect of her agony, what happens when she finally stops being the victim and starts playing the executioner? In a world of blood, secrets, and syndicate shadows, is Kate truly the broken wife they all believe her to be, or is she the only person powerful enough to bring the Ashford empire to its knees?
