Virgil Skinner served fourteen years for a murder he didn�t commit. He�s finally been exonerated, but he can�t escape the gang he joined in order to survive. They�ll do anything to keep him from telling what he knows. And if they can�t get to Virgil they�ll go after his sister and her kids. The California Department of Corrections needs someone to infiltrate another gang, one that�s taking control of the state�s most notorious supermax. Virgil�s the perfect candidate, and he�ll agree to do it under an alias � in exchange for his sister�s protection. Chief Deputy Warden Peyton Adams is opposed to having Virgil in her prison. How will she protect him if things go bad? Besides, she�s far too attracted to him; she might even be falling in love with him. That makes her all the more desperate to keep him safe � and it gives him someone else to lose.
