Lies like Rubies, Part One

Selling my body to protect my daughter? Easy. Trusting the men who promised they'd protect me? Impossible.

When my abusive ex returns from exile to snatch our four-year-old daughter away from me, I’m on my own against him until three men with their own agendas show up and consume my life.

Dante's a violent and unpredictable arms trafficker. Lorenzo's my father's enforcer and my first heartbreak. And Nick? He pretends he's a simple pediatrician, but he has a dark, mafia past.

In a world where women are little more than trophies to be possessed, these men look at me like I have worth. And I'm going to need to use every weapon in my arsenal to keep my daughter safe--including these men.

Will it be enough?
