Ethic has power, but love has always been evasive. After ordering the hit that mistakenly killed the love of his life, Ethic is haunted with guilt and he refuses to love again. Focused on being a better man and keeping his family safe, he is raising three children, one of which is a defiant teenaged girl, Morgan. No matter how hard he tries to keep Morgan away from the streets, she is determined to defy him. When Morgan finds herself in a vulnerable position, Ethic is pulled back into the deadly game where he was once king.

In this explosive spin-off to Ashley Antoinette's, Moth to a Flame, you will fall in love with Ezra Okafor aka Ethic as he gambles on love and in the streets, in hopes that this time he will win.

Ethic can not catch a break! I have to admit I’m invested in this series and will read the next book. I listened to this on Audible and the narration was better than Moth to a Flame. I was confused because there was no mention of Morgan’s disability in the first book (unless I missed it) and Ethic didn’t seem to have “the same face” as he did when Moth to a Flame ended
