We often meet our destiny on the road we take to avoid it.

Eve Gardner was seventeen when she ran away from home. She bought a bus ticket to California, a place as far away from her parents as a road could take her. In less than a month, she had a new name, a husband, and a new country.

?lvaro Castillo, the accountant for a dangerous drug cartel, had his own reasons for being on that bus. He was on the run, having just killed the man who threatened to expose him as an undercover DEA.

?lvaro and Eva settle in Taxco, Mexico, and create an enviable life. Eva is a successful silversmith; ?lvaro manages her studio. When their son Azul was born, they believed they had reached the pinnacle of happiness.

They were mistaken. The cartel put a three-million-dollar bounty on ?lvaro's head and one day an old enemy comes to collect it. The price Eva pays to keep Azul safe jeopardizes her marriage and her happiness.

Eva is forced to confront her past when she and her mother are kidnapped by the cartel as revenge for ?lvaro's betrayal. To stay alive, they must reconcile and unite. Together they use their wits and a little bit of magic to navigate their capture and eventual release.

When devastating family secrets come to light, ?lvaro and Eva have more questions than answers about their destiny. Love can redeem the past if only they will let it.
