Valentina Cruz no longer exists.

One moment, she was wrapped in Emilio’s arms, melting into his kiss. The next, she was witnessing the unthinkable: a murder in cold blood, ordered by her father and carried out by her boyfriend. When Emilio pulled the trigger, Valentina disappeared. She made a split-second decision to shed her identity and flee her life of privilege, leaving the glittering parties and sultry nightlife of Miami far behind.

She doesn’t know how to explain to herself what she saw. All she knows now is that nothing she believed about her family, her heart, or Emilio’s love, was real.

She can change her name and deny her past, but Valentina can’t run from the truth. The lines between right and wrong, and trust and betrayal, will be blurred beyond recognition as she untangles the deceptions of the two men she once loved and races to find her own truth.

This sounds like such a great premise. A thriller and (hopefully) action-packed story. I like that this girl just takes off on her own, and I’m really hoping that she’s competent at it. I also hope she doesn’t get all wimpy and want her boyfriend back. I’m also kind of hoping Emilio and her dad are completely un-redeemable and vicious. I know that sounds weird, but it would be kind of a fun change of pace.

What are you waiting for this week?
