Dragged back into a world of control, fear, and violence, Sophie must endure unimaginable trials while clinging to hope. Her abuser, a powerful lawyer with dark secrets, believes he can erase her freedom and reclaim her. When Sophie's path crosses Bullet's once again, her fears collide. Can she trust him with the truth of her abduction and the secret she's carried? Or will the weight of her past destroy the fragile life they dreamed of building together? Illicit Roads is a story of survival, love, and vengeance, where Sophie must summon every ounce of strength to protect what matters most—and decide if justice or retribution will set her free.
