Shanghai is under siege in this romantic, family-friendly sequel to *Violent Delights*, described by New York Times bestselling author Natasha Ngan as “delightfully dark.” It is 1927, and Shanghai teeters on the brink of revolution. After sacrificing her relationship with Roma Montagov to protect him from the bloody conflict, Juliet prepares for war. One wrong move, and her cousin will usurp her position as heir to the leadership of the Crimson Terror. The only way to save the boy she loves from the Crimson Terror is for him to believe she murdered his best friend in cold blood. If Juliet is indeed guilty of the crime Roma believes she committed, his rejection of her might be softened. Roma is still reeling from the Marshal’s death, and his cousin Benedict barely speaks to him. Roma knows it’s his fault for allowing the cruel Juliet back into his life, and he is determined to make things right, even if it means killing the girl he hates and loves in equal measure. Then a new monster appears in the city, and despite the reasons that drive them apart, Juliet must join forces with Roma if they are to end this threat once and for all. Shanghai is already at a boiling point: nationalists are trying to seize control, whispers of civil war grow louder every day, and the gangsters' rule is in danger of being completely wiped out. Roma and Juliet must put aside their differences to fight the monsters and the politicians, but neither is prepared for the greatest threat of all: each will have to protect their hearts from the other.
