Honor Bound #4
Honor Bound: Book 4
Colleen Stormbeck is dead – and with her, the brutal Stormbeck syndicate. Isaac’s family has barely escaped her captivity with their lives as they limp north, and one of them is clinging to life still.
The family finds comfort, safety, and stability in the north for the first time. All they want is a life of quiet recovery, of blossoming relationships, and of strengthening old ones. Even Gavin Uriah – who has returned to the north in secret amid rumors of his death – finds his true place in the family at last.
But even this quiet life is short-lived. The family finds themselves pulled back into the plight of the refugees they have spent their lives saving, and in doing so draw the attention of the most powerful man in the north: the mayor of Crayton.
