State of Assertion — Elaina John

In the sequel to State of Restraint, Vivi Knight is recruited to bring down vicious drug lord, Jax Molina. He's cruel, callous and everything she's not. With the help of her closest allies, Vivi takes on the challenge, which doesn't come without a price to her personal life. As the stakes get higher, Vivi quickly learns that love and justice don't always mix and sometimes that leaves a person on the outside. And that person just might be her.
