Eighteen-year old Marianna Rodriguez is distraught by the abrupt news from her father. Her father lost touch to reality years ago when he plummeted into a deep depression and began heavily abusing drugs. Marianna made sure to stay away from him, but this time he came to her-practically begging and pleading for her help. "Do it for your mother" he had said. She had no choice. She loved her mother, and so she was ready to sacrifice everything-including her future and her wellbeing for her. Jackson is a cruel gang leader, and since very young he's been victim to a cruel faith which has undoubtedly shaped him into the harsh and ruthless man he is today. Just one look at Marianna and he knows he wants her. But he doesn't let his lust for the young girl crowd his perception of her or falter his judgment the slightest. Lust that turns into something much deeper very soon-although he absolutely denies it. As the reader, you'll closely follow Marianna's journey-living with her, surviving with her, feeling for her. You watch her suffer deeply, nearly lose her sanity, lose her loved ones and even her desperate attempt at love. But I must warn you: this story is intense, with more downs then ups. With more tears being shed than heartfelt laughs being shared. Can you handle it? And as for Marianna, will she survive the brutal faith that's been enforced on her? Or is her inevitable demise anticipated? Will the presence of a mysterious stranger change things? Spice things up perhaps? Make her try and forget all the horrible things that she's endured? Or is the damage installed upon the young girl so deep and incredibly complex that she is doomed to stay broken forever? Marianna Rodriguez. The girl who lost everything and everyone in an instant. But most importantly a girl who has pushed to a point of no repair. Or was she? --- "I love this story! Glad it wasn't like the usual mafia book" " I'm so glad she got her happy ending after everything "
