But his mysterious "benefactor" -- the brilliant and coldly calculating Chet Fiore -- demands a payment for his intervention that would pull Blaine past the boundaries of everything that's legal and moral.But Jeffrey Blaine didn't get where he is by being anyone's pawn, and he's soon turning a bad situation to his advantage. But to do so, he has to wade into very dark and turbulent waters, finding untapped strength in a frightening new "partnership" that could ultimately cost him much more than he can possibly afford ...
