For seven years, Leah has been the secret lover of the man she saved on a snowy night when she was fifteen—the king of the New York underworld. When she learns she is pregnant, he publicly announces that he will marry another woman, claiming she is his “savior,” and uses her mother’s life to force Leah to remain his kept mistress. She tears up the pregnancy test and disappears into the rain—will she resign herself to being a lowly mistress, or will she take his child and flee from this devil forever?
