Nowhere in Christian’s plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. She hates him-his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye-but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. One winter night and their lives intertwine. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he’s never been tempted to veer off course. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he’d envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Most see a paragon of morality a special agent upholding the law.

If we seek redemption, it lies in His passion if acquittal, in His condemnation if remission of the curse, in His cross if satisfaction, in His sacrifice if purification, in His blood if reconciliation, in His descent into hell if mortification of the flesh, in His tomb if newness of life, in His resurrection if immortality, in the same if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in His entrance into heaven if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in His Kingdom if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to Him to judge.
