In the blink of an eye, young Ani has to learn the ins and outs of the game to become the hottest thing the streets have ever seen. But trying to fill shoes way bigger than hers, both literally and figuratively, is harder than it looks and being caught up in her father's shadow has Ani doubting everything she thought she knew.The field that Ani's in requires protection so when she meets Owen, her new bodyguard, it's a match made in heaven. He needs a job and she needs a protector. Sooner rather than later, their feelings get involved and before either of them realizes what they've done, they'll be taken on a whirlwind rollercoaster of passion, pain and redemption. With Owen by her side, Ani knows no boundaries, but will that do more harm than good in the end? And will Owen lose his morals behind the enticement of a cartel boss?
