How much is a life worth?
Mariana Rodriguez is the eldest daughter of a Colombian drug
lord. Growing up in Villanueva, Colombia, she has never wanted for anything.
Private schools, a lavish lifestyle, and the safety of the Cartel that her
father works for.
At nineteen, she's got her entire life mapped out, and what
a good life it's going to be: graduate from college, move to America, and
finally be free from the stifling grip of the Cartel.
Only, her father messes up. A shipment of cocaine - a very
large, very valuable shipment - is seized by the authorities whilst under his
care and he becomes liable for the debt. Half a million dollars worth of
cocaine.
Half a million dollars he does not have.
But he has a daughter, a very smart one, a daughter who
would give up her very existence and offer herself as payment for her father's
sins, to ensure her family survives.
But falling in love with the man who owned her wasn't part
of the plan ...
Are you ready for Mariana's story in this heart-wrenching NEW series!?

~ Review ~
4 Stars
I'm going to start off saying that this book wasn't really
what I was thinking. Though I'm not sure
how any positive could come out of this book with Dornan being the main
character. I hated him in the Gypsy
Brothers books. But I wanted to read
this book and see what it was going to be about and what would happen.
I have to say I really respected Mariana. Not may people male or female would do what
she did to save their family. She stood
up for what she believed and offered herself for her families lives. But once she is taken she is really wishy
washy. Maybe that is normal. I've haven't ever experienced what she is
going through. She starts out strong and
giving lip to her kidnapper, but she learns really quick that if she continues her
sacrifice will all be for nothing. She
never expected Dornan to come storming into her life. Is he trying to save her? Or make her feel safe so he can destroy
her? But is there hope for her? Can she be saved?
Dornan is suppose to be this big, bad, scary man that is
evil. I see it in some places, but he
has a soft side. There is something in
him that is save able, but will he be saved or is he damned? Will he save Mariana? Or will he lead her to the slaughter house?
I really had a hard time getting into this book. I'm not sure if reading Gypsy Brothers first
tainted me to liking Dornan or not.
Though Dornan is different in this book.
We are beginning to see what caused Dornan to turn dark. I would recommend everyone read this book and
make their own opinions!!
~ Excerpt ~
‘You do this a lot?’ I asked abruptly.
He took a step closer. I took a step back. It was timed so
well, it was almost as if we were dancing some sort of macabre waltz.
He laughed when we moved in unison.
‘Depends,’ he replied, ‘on what this is.’
‘Pick up pretty girls
for your daddy?’ I shot back.
Something passed over his face for a moment and settled in
his eyes. Something hard. And then, I blinked, and it was gone again.
‘Sure,’ he said, and his voice had changed somehow. Become
more reserved, more guarded. Damn. The only person who’d shown me the tiniest
bit of normality, and I had just alienated him. As usual, I was running off at
the mouth before I thought about what I was actually saying.
‘None as pretty as you, though,’ he added.
