Collateral

Amara Cruz is determined to build a life that looks nothing like the one she grew up in. While studying nursing and working nonstop to survive, she is also paying off a $50,000 debt her parents left behind. A debt that was never hers to begin with. The money was not borrowed from a bank. When Jairo Mendez, an enforcer for a dangerous criminal organization, shows up at her dorm room, Amara realizes the situation is far worse than unpaid interest. Someone higher up wants the debt settled no matter the cost. Jairo was sent to collect. Instead, he finds himself protecting the one person who was never meant to pay for her parents' mistakes. Now Amara is pulled into a world she never chose, and the only thing more dangerous than the debt is the man assigned to it.
