"Audrey Carlan tem um dom com as palavras que não pode ser negado."Kylie Scott, autora bestseller do New York Times Minha vida nunca foi fácil. Do dia em que respirei pela primeira vez até agora. Com alguns dias de vida, me colocaram em um cesto de roupa suja e me deixaram na frente de um quartel. Eu nunca soube quem eram meus pais e fui colocada em muitos lares adotivos ruins. Até que cheguei à Kerrighan House. Meu porto seguro. Minha casa. Me receberam de braços abertos em um mundo onde o amor e a irmandade eram a regra, não a exceção. A partir daquele momento, acreditei que estava segura. Que nada de ruim poderia me acontecer. Eu estava muito enganada. Nem meu sucesso como modelo de lingerie, nem minha esperteza de rua como nativa de Chicago, me protegeu de cair nas garras de um monstro. Enquanto tento recompor minha vida, fico cara a cara com um homem cujas feridas espelham as minhas. Sob sua proteção, tenho a oportunidade de encontrar beleza onde antes só havia dor. Mas o perigo espreita enquanto um novo mal ameaça me deixar de joelhos. Meu salvador pode me proteger ou meu destino foi selado? Nota: Cada livro da série Irmãs de Alma pode ser lido separadamente.

O mais novo romance de Audrey Carlan, autora bestseller número um do The New York Times e da série A Garota do Calendário. Minha vida mudou duas vezes em um único dia. A primeira foi quando perdi meus pais. De mãos dadas, subi com minha irmã mais velha os degraus da Kerrighan House, um lar adotivo para meninas. Tivemos a sorte de sermos recebidas de braços abertos e de ser uma casa cheia de crianças como nós. Crianças que perderam tudo. Daquele dia em diante, fomos criadas como uma grande família. Nossos laços de irmandade foram fortalecidos por meio de experiências compartilhadas, dor, sacrifício e amor. Irmãs não por sangue, mas por escolha. Irmãs de alma. A segunda vez que minha vida mudou foi o pior dia da minha vida adulta. Meu namorado terminou comigo por mensagem. Meu chefe desprezível deu em cima de mim, me forçando a largar um emprego do qual eu precisava desesperadamente. E a cereja do bolo foi ser parada por um agente do FBI. Mal sabia que ele também salvaria minha vida naquela noite. Desde o momento em que nos conhecemos, o agente Fontaine não ousava me perder de vista. E entre seus modos alfa, olhos castanhos gentis e heroísmo, me perdi para o homem que se escondia atrás de seu trabalho. Mas esse agente tinha uma regra: nunca se apaixonar por uma mulher que tivesse salvado. Mas eu não era uma mulher qualquer. Eu era conhecida entre minhas irmãs por correr riscos e sonhar alto. Eu era a garota selvagem do grupo. Fomos criadas para apreciar cada dia como um presente e não deixar nada ficar em nosso caminho. Quanto mais eu conhecia o homem sério e pensativo do FBI, mais percebia que talvez fosse meu dever salvá-lo.
