Eduardo's Dandelion.
**** Aviva's life was ordinary-until the night a stranger hijacked her car and ordered her to drive off a cliff. He was running from something, from someone, and before she could understand what was happening, she was dragged into a world she never knew existed. Caught in the crossfire of powerful and dangerous men, Aviva quickly realizes that survival is not guaranteed. Kidnapped and thrust into the unknown, she is forced to navigate a deadly game where every step could be her last. Then there's Eduardo Reyes-the man who started it all. Strong-willed, brutal, and unyielding, he is no ordinary fugitive. A proud leader with enemies lurking in every shadow, he never expected to be kidnapped, much less alongside a stranger. Now, their survival depends on one thing-trust. In a world ruled by lies, bullets, and blood, Aviva must fight to stay alive. But with danger closing in from all sides, one question remains: how do you escape a world you were never meant to survive?Complete
