Blurb
Aidan Hughes
I was cruel to Deidre La Russo. Said things I should never say to a woman.
Seen things happen to her.
Things darker than the bottle of liquor I consume.
I felt helpless.
Defeated.
The memories are more tortuous than the act of her torture.
Then she walks back into my life, only she’s not alone.
Deidre La Russo
I have my reasons for leaving.
I lived through hell.
I was beaten, tortured. Drugged.
I have secrets.
I have to tell them.
Danger brought us all together.
Danger may rip us apart.
Excerpt
Aidan Hughes. I can focus on him. No, not him. Images of his bruised and battered face invade my mind, mixing with those voices.
Aidan can never see me like this. He’s lodged in my head too. I should hate him after the things he said to me, the way he treated me after we gave in to the carnal desire we felt for each other. I know I treated the man poorly, but he just kept getting under my skin. His deep voice. His bright blue eyes. His muscular body. His six-foot-something frame. I hate him.
Oh, I heard him, all right, demanding for me to hang on while I felt like I was going to die every time Royal pierced me with his knife. He even called me baby a few times. He’s a callous asshole. A user. A fucking tool of a man, and I don’t want to see him. I’ve gone insane. I don’t want or need anybody. They can let me die. Yes. The only way to get rid of any and all of these voices in my head is to die.
“Deidre.” An older woman comes into my room, followed by my dad. The look of concern on their faces stops me in the tracks of plotting ways to kill myself.
“I’m Doctor Jenkins. Your father here has told me you want to leave. I cannot discharge you. This is the best place for you to be. You have to heal. Now, are you in any pain, sweetheart? Would you like the nurse to give you—”
“Noooooooooooooo! Quit saying I have to heal! You don’t know what I need or have to do! None of you do!” I scream. Her body jolts back.
I’ve fucking had it with these people not listening to me. I start to thrash in the small bed. Kick the covers off. My body is so weak I have no idea what the hell I’m doing. All I know is if they won’t help me, then I will help myself. I will get out of here. I will. Then I will die. The howling laughter, the slimy deep tones, their faces, they will all be gone.

Danger brought us all together.
This instalment is by far the best in the entire of the Syndicate series. Kathy Coopman drew me into the dangerous and traumatic lives of both Aidan and Deidre. Showing me the fierceness, strength, and loyalty of the characters. Surviving a torturous entrapment, Deidre awakes in fright, then learning of a certain situation that will change her life. Deidre must decide her next move. Does going back mean pain and torture, or will it set her free. And in turn give her the happy ending she is ultimately looking for.
I always love a wounded male protagonist. With a dark past, and an even darker existence. It just gets my juices flowing (as much as it sounds yucky-screw it). Going through the motions of life, filling it with alcohol and easy women, using them as an aid to forget Deidre. When Aidan and Deidre meet, an he learns of her secret, Aidan becomes a different person. Even more alpha-maleish, and the depth of love he has is strongly emitted in Kathy Coopmans writing.
Deidre has been such a spitfire heroin. Matching Aidan word for word, and proving she is a survivor. Not allowing her past weakness and fears to overcome her true self and responsibilities.
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Aidan and Deidre's story unfold. It was passionate, angry, and done with renewed vigor. So beautiful.
Looking forward to seeing more from this author, she has grown since the first instalment and I loved watching it unfold on the pages.
