A SWEETER POISON:
Who are you when no one is watching?
....
How do you destroy a monster, without becoming a monster yourself?
....
All her life, Maya has been fighting to keep her head above the surface. It was never a choice to fail, success was everything, as she was taught being brought up and abused by Rolf Hyde, a man who claims he saved her from the horrors of the world, aged just 10 after being kidnapped from her family and left to fend for herself from the age of 4. This leads her down a dangerous path, using unorthadox methods to battle her problems.
Marco Rodrigues has never let his gaze shift from his work as don of the spanish mafia. His family time and time again struck by tragedy - first losing their younger sister to a kidnapping, then their parents, Marco is left to care for what's left - five younger siblings.
But what will happen when the opportunity of a lifetime arises? What will happen when Maya re discovers her family, the infamous Rodrigues', aka the spanish mafia with five brothers and a sister? What will happen when they discover who she really is? And above all, what will happen when sparks begin to fly in a budding romance? Will she break under the pressure of hiding, as she has all her life; will she fall as she attempts to balance the secrets she keeps against her strengthening emotions which shout to be heard?
