    From the author of Witches, a gripping, kaleidoscopic tale of two women in 1940s Mexico—one whose daughter has just been kidnapped and another who has just adopted a little girlWhen the kidnapping of a little girl shocks the Mexican capital, the lives of two very different women become forever intertwined. Gloria Felipe lives a comfortable upper-class life with her husband and five children. Nuria Valencia comes from a working-class background and has been desperately trying to get pregnant in order to save her marriage. After traditional methods produce no results, she subjects herself to horrific fertility treatments designed and administered by men, and ultimately tries to adopt but is rejected on the basis that a woman in her early thirties is too old to adopt a baby. Failed time and again by the system and about to lose hope, she is presented with an opportunity that seems almost too good to be true.Through the eyes of a wry unnamed narrator, we witness the battle of the Felipe family to recover their youngest member and the anguished attempts of the Valencia family to save their daughter from potential danger. With the twists and turns of a thriller, and Brenda Lozano's sharp yet poignant sense of humor, the novel asks how far mothers are willing to go in the name of love for their children, and at what cost.

He asks her to take a chance, to chase something bigger than the life she’s always known. What she doesn’t expect is to fall for him—hard. He’s everything she told herself to avoid… and exactly what her heart’s been waiting for. 
    But Jerry’s world is nothing like hers. He’s guarded, used to control, and his ex-wife isn’t ready to let him go. When a calculated betrayal threatens everything they’ve built, Taz is forced to confront the truth—not just about Jerry’s past, but about the kind of woman she wants to be.  
    In a city that never sleeps, with shadows that run deeper than she imagined, Taz must decide if love is worth the risk… and if Jerry O’Rourke is worth the fight.

    Love is a luxury he can't afford . . . 
     
     
     
    For years, he was known only as Blackrose's Blade, an elite assassin in the employ of the Crown. But after a mission cost him the use of his leg, Rourke Lindsay has unexpectedly inherited a dukedom . . . and along with it, the headache of a pair of hellion twins. Now, he's in dire need of a miracle. 
     
     
     
    He just didn't expect her to be quite so tempting. 
     
     
     
    Needing a safe place to hide, Miss Sophia Cuny has forged her references and settled into the Duke of Exingham's employ, unwilling to admit she knows next to nothing about children. She does, however, know all about the Duke's painful past and why the cynical warrior refuses to allow himself close to a pair of rapscallion troublemakers, no matter how desperately they need his love. 
     
     
     
    The longer she tries to avoid the new duke, the more she sees the man beneath the scars—the man who needs love as well—even if he's unwilling to admit it. Too bad she can't afford to allow him into her heart, even as the danger she's running from closes in. 
     
     
     
    Because Sophia possesses secrets about his past even Rourke doesn't know, and revealing the truth will ruin them all. 
     
     
     
    Contains mature themes.
