Life can change between one heartbeat and the next.
Eighteen-year-old Colt has spent her life distancing herself from her family’s dark secrets. She has a great boyfriend and a promising future…until a family argument ends with her drug-dealer father dead on the floor and the murder weapon in her hand.
If she wants to stay out of jail, she’ll have to sacrifice her life in America for the anonymity and relative safety of Mexico. But at her drug lord uncle’s Playboy-esque villa, the outlaw princess discovers that her uncle may have more terrible secrets than she could’ve imagined.
Colt must make a choice: accept her place in the family legacy, or try to make a new way for herself. But choices carry consequences, and some can never be undone.
