Three weeks, twenty-one days, or five hundred and four hours… That’s all it took to derail my life and twist it into something unrecognizable. One moment I had Evan, the man I thought I’d marry. The next moment shattered the illusion. Now I have no one. Except him. Ryker Vargas, and I don’t really have him. He’d never belong to any one but himself. He sucked me into a web of lies and now it’s too late. I took the bait. I’m a prisoner of the Vargas Cartel. I never thought I’d be another statistic, another girl abducted in a foreign country, my entire future washed away by an impulsive, split second in time. But it’s true. My name is Hattie Covington and I’m a statistic, but statistics never tell the whole story.

One look and I wanted him. One kiss and I was addicted. One touch and I was lost. Hattie Covington is ready to reclaim her life… She plans to erase the man who abducted her from mind and carve him out of her heart. But her life quickly spirals out of control. She realizes nobody can be trusted and nothing is how it seems. Ryker Vargas pushed Hattie out of his life and back into Evan’s arms, but just because she's gone, doesn't mean he’s forgotten her. She’s in his blood, infecting his thoughts, and he’s going back for her. He won't stop until she belongs to him… Heart, body and soul.

Revenge will be sought. Love will be tested. Lives will be lost. One minute, I could see my future with Hattie and our baby. The next moment cured me of the illusion. Vargas blood ran through my veins, and regardless of what I wanted, the darkness would always win. Make no mistake, I will save Hattie. I will kill every last person affiliated with the Alvarez Cartel. But then, I will set her free… Because that’s the only way I can save her from me.
