Shannel Vergara, a striking beauty marred by a tumultuous past, comes from a broken home where her so-called parents were trapped in the grasp of addiction. To the ruthless mafia boss, Hunter, she's merely a pawn in his schemes. The question remains: Will Shannel cling desperately to a chance at life with Hunter, despite his dark secrets, or will she choose to escape once she uncovers his true nature?
