New Orleans' Burning Heart

New Orleans was a powder keg, teetering on the brink of explosion.

I, Isabelle "Izzy" Beaumont, the Mayor's daughter, believed I could save it.

I offered myself in a desperate union to Jackson "Jax" Moreau, the charismatic gang leader I once loved, hoping to bridge the chasm between our warring worlds.

But Jax's "union" was a brutal charade.

He betrayed me, wiping out my family – my father mauled by his dogs, my brother crushed, my mother shamed to death.

I became his prisoner, forced to watch as New Orleans burned and my world crumbled.
