Tears of Salvation (The Saints #5; Underworld Kings #3)

by Michelle Heard

My smile grows as I lift my chin, my brown eyes filled with the courage it’s taken to become my own mother’s worst enemy. I’m destroying her from within. I’m the Trojan horse she never saw coming.

I’m expertly skilled in both masks I wear. The Princess of Terror – who only cares about the luxuries the cartel can give her. Then there’s Isabella Terrero – the woman who spends her nights freeing slaves. The trained fighter who never misses a shot. The daredevil who knows no fear.

“Sonia Terrero sent her daughter to learn the fine art of sex slavery and drug smuggling, but Isabella wasn’t interested in any of that. Instead, she requested to be privately trained as a custodian. We were ordered to not inform Sonia of the change in training.”

I fucking want Isabella Terrero. Not only because she’ll be a valuable ally, but because I’m falling for her. I’m fucking falling.

“Only you think it’s an act. I’ve seen how you are with Isabella. You care more about her than you’d like to admit, and maybe you should accept that fact before you ask her to marry you.”
