A long journey awaits him, with love, triumph, failure, and betrayal all part of the arduous march to freedom.

And the moment she looks up at them with those terrified, defiant eyes- Their world tilts off its axis. Now the most feared men in the city have a choice: End her.

It was then Tyler Rivera - a young man who constantly had problems back at home - unknowingly stepped into her world of vengeance. It was not long before he realized that in her world, mercilessness was an understatement. - "I did not expect you to be here, Angel." He flashes her his signature smile while having her pinned up against the wall, with their faces just inches apart.

She caught the side of his foot and swung it sideways, causing him to fall onto the floor face first. - FIRST BOOK IN THE 'COLD HEARTS' SERIES COMPLETED (•Action•Revenge•Romance•)Complete
