His Last Order: Run

Synopsis

I spent seven years in the Red River Compound, beaten and ignored by my husband William, the Boss's right-hand man. He never gave me a kind word, until the twins came along and reminded me I still had a pulse—but even then, his coldness never wavered. That all changed one bloody night when he burst through the door, his face streaked with terror I'd never seen before. He shoved a heavy suitcase and a single boat ticket into my arms and ordered me to run with the children before dawn, when everyone in the Compound would be wiped out. When I asked about him, he wiped the blood from his face and gave me a raw smile—he was going to give our children a future worth running toward. Then he pushed me into the darkness, and I haven't seen him since. Now I'm on the run through Harbor City with two infants, a suitcase full of secrets, and a target on my back. And in a city that never forgets, I have no one to trust except the man who left me behind, the man whose final order I'm still trying to understand.
