Victoria Herrera has always done whatever it takes to survive. A Cuban immigrant who spent her childhood on the streets of Havana, she braved the treacherous high seas to escape to the United States at just ten years old. Now twenty-seven, she works as a dancer at an exclusive gentlemen’s club in Atlanta, using her earnings to put her younger sister, Ana, through the Georgia Institute of Science & Technology

But when her best friend, Isabella, goes missing after entertaining a group of high-profile clients, Victoria refuses to stand by and do nothing. As she digs deeper into Isabella’s disappearance, she and Ana become entangled in a dangerous underworld she never saw coming.

With the help of an unlikely acquaintance, Elijah, a retired 160th Army Airborne Special Operator, Victoria uncovers more than just the truth – she finds love, family, and a sense of purpose she never expected. But as Le Arza, one of the world’s deadliest assassins, a ruthless Miami crime figure only known as El Silbón, and the infamous Caligula New York CrimeFamily, all close in on her, Victoria has no choice but to fight back.

As the tangled web of secrets unravels, she may find her past is far more connected to her present than she ever imagined. And this time, running isn’t an option.
