What do you do after watching your employee be raped by men who want information about your oldest friend? Taking them down alone isn’t possible, but Nya Yorke won’t let the bastards get away with murder. Her rescuer wants the same thing they did and he’s capable of committing horrors. That makes him key to completing her mission. Archer wants her oldest friend. If she can broker a deal to get him what he wants then he’ll help her punish the men who attacked her colleague. Nya needs an ally, but quickly learns that wearing Archer’s mark means more than deferring to him, it could change the course of her life.
