Phoenix Freed — Elise Faber

A proposal. A sibling. An enemy that never gives up. Daughtry has been to hell and come back with a man who will never leave her side. With Cody in her life, she's never been happier. Until Alex arrives at the Colony. Finally, Daughtry's dreams of a family seem to be fulfilled -- except Alex brings a whole slew of complications. She's strong, intense, and doesn't trust easily. It seems impossible for Daughtry's two worlds to merge peacefully until the Dalshie attack and Alex steps up, providing the first measurable hope of eliminating the Rengalla's most brutal enemy. Alex's strength is finally an asset, and her heart -- her tough, loyal, bruised heart -- may have finally found someone who can cherish it.
