Since the seat of the Holy Roman Empire, was not safe enough from Felicia’s Mexican relatives, Lizbeth and Eli are determined to protect Felicia and Peter at home. But then some news arrives that means Eli and Peter are heading back to San Diego, and their enemies have plans of revenge and death that will either kill them or destroy everything they have together.
