Description

<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>

Story Behind The Book

There are two core events that drove the original story: the WWII sinking of the troopship SS Cape San Juan and the development of a sophisticated and secret new radar used by the Army Air Corps to track enemy fighter planes. Added to these was the panic within senior Nazi leaders about the beating they were taking from allied bombers. Thus a Nazi spy is sent to locate and steal the radar secrets and Amos Mead, OSS is detailed to counter the effort.
