But that including her old reputation for weakness and lack of direction, as she discovers the lure of badassery. At the same time, Kim and the crown prince of Dobrenica are on their honeymoon at last, but just as she and Alec are relishing the magic of Venice, they find themselves cornered and nearly grabbed by goons. Whose? More important, why?

And inhuman.
