Synopsis:
For
Luisa Chavez, a twenty-three year old former beauty queen, a better life has
always been just out of her reach. Sure, she’s had men at her feet since she
was a young teenager but she’s never had the one thing she’s craved – security.
Having grown up in near poverty, her waitressing job in Cabo San Lucas can
barely let her take care of herself, let alone her ailing parents. Every day is
another unwanted advance, every day is a struggle to survive.
When
Salvador Reyes, the depraved leader of a major Mexican cartel, takes an
interest in her, Luisa is presented with an opportunity she can’t afford to
pass up. She’ll become Salvador’s wife and exchange her freedom and body for a
life of riches – riches she can bestow upon her deserving parents. But Luisa
quickly finds out that even the finest wines and jewels can’t undo the ugliness
in her marriage, nor the never-ending violence that threatens her every move.
Soon,
Luisa is looking for an escape, a way out of the carefully controlled life
she’s leading. She finally gets her wish in the worst way possible.
As
it is, being the wife of Salvador makes her an ideal target for rival cartels
and there’s one particular man who needs Luisa as part of his cartel’s
expansion. One particular man whose quest for power has destroyed lives, slit
throats and gotten him out of an American prison. One particular man who will
stop at nothing until he gets what he wants.
That
man is Javier Bernal. And he wants Luisa. He wants to take her, keep her, ruin
her.
Unless
she ruins him first.

Excerpt
(unedited,
subject to change before publication)
Excerpt 1:
It was a picture of a woman in white strapless wedding dress, very fluffy
and extravagant from the waist down. Her hands were clasped demurely at her
front, her face caught in a nervous smile.
She was extremely beautiful but that was to be expected. The country’s most
flagrant excuse for a drug kingpin would never marry anyone less than stunning
and this woman, Luisa, fit the bill. But despite her body, with her round,
perky tits and elegant neck, her long dark hair and classic face, there was
another layer to her that immediately got me hard. It was this look in her
eyes. They were so pure and soft, giving her radiance that seemed to leap off
the page.
I wanted nothing more than to have her on her knees, have her fix those
round, angelic eyes on me and watch as I pin her down and come right into them.
I would take her purity and make her see the world for what it really was – a
hot, sticky mess at the end of my dick.
“I bet she’d be a tight little fuck,” Este leered over my shoulder.
I shot him a disgusted look. “She’s not a whore, Este,” I chided him.
“Not to you,” he said, as I looked at the next picture of her, now with
Salvador at her side.
“I mean it,” I said, my eyes drawn to her again and again. “No one is
touching her. Not you, not Franco.”
“I give you my promise,” Este said. “But Franco can barely control himself
around the whores.”
“No one is touching her,” I repeated. “She will be our hostage. She is
collateral. No one is laying a hand on her.”
