Those prayers are finally answered, but she quickly realizes her husband still sees her as the naive twenty-year-old girl she used to be, the one who was content to let him run the show.

Jessica has prayed for a chance to reunite with Alex, to be the family they were meant to be, to reclaim and rebuild their relationship. Easier said than done when jealousy rears its ugly head, and Jessica struggles to deal with all the women Alex was intimate with after her supposed death. Determined to make up for lost time, Alex sets about winning the hearts and trust of his wife and daughter, and healing the emotional damage done to Jessica by their forced separation. Having believed for five years that his wife and daughter are dead, Alexandr Novikov's world changes forever when he discovers not only are they alive, but the vile person who tore his family apart was none other than his father, Jorg.

Part ONE, Alexandr's Cherished Submissive, should be read first for the most enjoyment. For your greatest reading enjoyment, I'd suggest you read the series in order, starting with Exquisite Trouble.Note: This is part TWO of Alex and Jessica's story. Exquisite Innocence SHOULD be read first. (Exquisite Sin is part 2 of Hustler and Lyric's story. By the time I figure out the true threat comes from within, it's too late to do anything but pray to a God who turned his back on me long ago for a miracle I don't deserve. Except my absence doesn't make her any safer. It kills me that I'm forced to leave her side when she needs me the most, but if I stay with her much longer I'm going to get her killed. Now my devotion to my club is torn between doing what my President wants, and what my woman needs. My loyalty to them was unquestionable before a certain freckled angel entered my life. I've spent my life alone, my heart and soul claimed long ago by the Iron Horse MC. My church may have called him a sinner who was leading me into damnation, but to me he is my salvation. My hero comes from the most unlikely of places, a knight in black leather who is ready to lay down his life for my own. Unfortunately, there is just as much evil in the real world as my former home, and the demons that want to destroy me are still on the hunt. Safe from the demons masquerading as holy men. I thought once I finally fled the strict confines of my old church I'd be free.
