Love is more than a word, it's more than an idea. It has the ability to take many forms, cause us great pain and great happiness, but is love more powerful than betrayal? Once you know something, is it ever possible to un-know it? Carmine was a rookie detective when his world came crashing down around him, thanks to his murderous brothers. A series of events unfolds, centered around him and his immediate family, that threatens to rip apart the great city he swore to protect. His life turns around when a woman from his childhood, who now has a special skill-set, swoops in to help out and he falls in love with her, but can she be trusted? Can the two of them and a small group of their friends triumph over an organization that is over two thousand years old and that has become twisted by the greedy, aged men now sitting on the Council? Join Carmine, celebrated character from Soul Mates: Perceptions of Love, as he tries to prove that love can conquer all or die trying.
