That’s how she knew what was about to happen to her. Savannah tried to run back home. Her little sister needed her. Marco’s men found her and brought her back. That night Marco branded her with his initials so she wouldn’t forget who owned her. She didn’t think her life could get any worse, but she was wrong.

He didn’t believe a word she told him about trying to get to New Orleans because her mother had been in a bad car wreck. But when two thugs catch up with them to return Savannah to their drug cartel boss, and attempt to kill him, he quickly ends the threat.

Jade There are no such thing as monsters. Evil doesn’t exist. And fathers don’t sell their children. Except in Jade’s world there are monsters, evil does exist, and her father sold her when she was fourteen. Years slipped away. Then she was running, there was the sound of a gun. A bullet grazing her head. Stumbling, but not stopping. A voice inside her screaming over and over for her not to slow down. Now, five years later, she’s looking for answers. She remembers her first name, being shot, and running, but nothing more. Unsettling dreams invade her sleep, and have started tormenting her when she’s awake. Sometimes she feels as if she’s losing her mind. Why was she running that night? She has to find the answer.

He’d seen that same look when he was fighting overseas. Except the more he digs, the more he uncovers. He wonders if he’s putting her in more danger, and risking his own life. At some point you just know it’s too late to turn back.
