She wanted a way out at any cost. All he wanted was her. I’ve lived this life long enough—at the beck and call of men who only want my body. The deal I’m offered is too good to pass up. Get close to Gao and learn what the Triad is planning. In return, I earn my freedom. It’s what I excel at. It should be easy. Only life is never that simple. It’s a lesson I should have learned long ago. But now, I’m stuck between powerful forces—both capable of ending me and each other. With a gun to my head, I can’t deny the truth. I’m no longer that scared little girl who was ripped away from her family and sold. And Gao isn’t the man I thought him to be. He’s so much more. Something I can’t turn away from. Even if it costs us everything. **
