When Rachel is abducted and sold on the black market, she is bought by the most unlikely and shocking man of all, who takes her into a lethal world where not all is as it seems. For with one of the brothers there lies a dangerous secret, and ties so deep to Rachel that no distance or menace will keep them apart.
