Meric Toledan was just stopping at a service station for a bottle of water. Assessing the situation, he steps in to rescue Liliana from traffickers. If he can keep his secrets at bay, his wealth and position afford him many resources to help her. But the mysterious buyer who funded her capture will not sit idly by while his prize is stolen from him.
Melissa Koslin throws you right into the middle of the action in this high-stakes thriller that poses the question: What is the price of freedom?
Wow - what a book!
Captivating story from the very beginning. This book focuses on human trafficking, which gets very little attention in proportion to the major crime problem that it is. I liked how Koslin brought focus to the issue without including graphic detail that would make it difficult for many readers to read. Liliana is a strong character, who really personifies the "I never saw myself as a victim" mentality. Meric is a man with an intense sense of right and wrong and the conviction to seek justice for those who are taken advantage of. Their past experiences with human trafficking - hers, very recent and his rooted in trauma his mother faced - draw them together in a shared vision of doing what they can to help.
It was so sweet how both Liliana and Meric selflessly cared for the other, thinking that they needed to put aside their personal feelings so that they other could heal. They both needed the other to truly see them and to trust them.
I really enjoyed this story - thank you to the publisher for sending me a copy to review.
