With Esmeralda in his debt and a mother who keeps throwing options his way, he gives in, allowing him and Esmeralda to both get what they want. A deal to set her family free in exchange for her hand in marriage. Blood shed, betrayal, and death is nothing compared to the perilous emotion stirring inside their bodies.
