and abandoned on the Bowery's mean streets, Jack Mulligan survived on strength,
cunning, and ambition. Now he rules his territory better than any politician or

Forming an unlikely
alliance, they discover an unexpected desire. And when Justine's past catches
up with them, Jack may be her only hope of survival. Is she ready to make a
deal with the devil...?
