<p>Maria hits the streets of New York in search of the love denied by her alcoholic father and indifferent mother. When Sergio, a dark, worldly stranger, lures her with diamonds, brand-name clothing, and undivided attention, Maria sees a way out of her dysfunctional home. Seduced by Sergio’s charm and the promise of wealth and recognition, Maria ignores her panicked intuition and wanders into his lair.<br /><br />But in a world where ambition and deception go hand in hand, where dreams are shattered and innocence crushed, Maria discovers she’s trapped in a hell much worse than the one she left. And now, there is no escape. The price for betrayal is blood.<br /><br />Destiny intervenes when Maria meets Christian, a handsome law student haunted by a dark family secret. With her life at risk and time running out, will Maria find the strength to save herself and convince Christian to go against all reason and risk everything to help her?</p>

<font size="2"></font><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana">&quot;I just had to email you and let you know how much I loved <em>His Brother's Child</em>. I really could put myself in the shoes of the heroine. I liked the way you developed her self esteem. Plus Edward sounded very sexy—if you find an extra like him, please send him my way!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Brenda</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;A Big Beautiful Heroine! </strong>Well, I am a big fan of Pat Ballard's work. I love how all her heroines are plus-sized beauties and have great hunks who love them that way. I also love that her heroines have class and style. They are strong women who can handle any situation put before them. <em>(His Brother's Child </em>is) not only a love story, but a story about hope. How it only takes one person who, with loving patience, can give a person the strength to overcome fears and to embrace life. I hope to read many more of Pat's books. Each one is a treat.&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">A reader from Albuquerque, NM</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Pat Ballard delivers again! </strong>This book has you wondering about the ending from the first chapter. The book is not what I thought it to be—it is better. Another book by Pat you can't put down. If you don't have the first two, buy all three and settle in for a long, quiet time. Don't forget the wine!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Paula Johnson from W.P.B., FL</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Once again Ms. Ballard delivers!</strong> Ms. Ballard is proving herself to be the new Romance Queen of the new Millenium. Her new novel, <em>His Brother's Child,</em> heats up from the start and just continues to build that sexual tension until the explosive end. My recommendation is buy the book, find a comfortable place to read and ENJOY because you won't be able to put it down!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">H.
