[Well-Read Literary Girl VS Ruthless Street Wolf King]
[Organized-Crime Romance + 1990s Road Adventure + Everyone's Darling + Female Growth + Exotic Setting]
Evelyn endured years of emotional torment from her birth family, and thought she'd finally escaped.
But even in death, her father wants to drag her down with him: at the funeral, creditors from two continents gather, the Sicilian mob blocks the entrance, and the Medellin Cartel from South America occupies the church.
Everyone thinks she's done for.
Evelyn turns and runs, climbing out through a transom window.
A game of cat and mouse begins. The ruthless leader corners her against a wall. "You've got some nerve. Run until you die, or come with me. Pick the one you won't regret."
So she stops running. This time, she'll leap into the whirlpool of dark waters, turn the tables in a chaotic world, and seize fate by the horns.
