All it took was one spiked glass for Zanele to find out worse things can happen to her than death.
No-it wasn't her fault.
Her only crime was trusting her friends. Friends who despised her enough to sell her like an animal on the black market.
Now she belongs to Antonio Velastro-a man who breaks women as effortlessly as he puts bullets through his family's enemies.
With time, Antonio breaks and shatters Zanele in every way possible until she's had enough. Then she learns to smile with a blade at her throat and not blink when a gun barrel presses against a man's skull.
But now she has to choose: is her freedom worth her life or is she better off on a Velastro's side?
