There's a price to pay for living the fast life... Gabriella Hernandez-known to her friends as Riel-almost wishes she could stay in prison. At least there she has steady meals, and a girlfriend who loves her. Even a cold cell is better than what's waiting for her on the outside. The only people she looks forward to seeing in her normal life are her sister, Lizette, and her green-eyed best friend and former drug-running partner, Evan. Drugs, danger, and a hot spark of romance... Upon release, Riel has no choice but to go back to work for her brother-in-law, Isaias. This time, instead of running drugs, he forces her to work in his strip club where she gets a lousy ten percent of her tips. The daily dose of threats and coercion chains her to this place. And, if she makes a run for it, she'd be abandoning everyone she loves. With Isaias' spies and henchmen everywhere, there's nowhere to run. A crooked cop, a setup, and hope for a real life... Evan is able to smuggle her out of the city, but it isn't long before Riel's fears come true. After a bloody shootout with Isais' men lands Evan at death's door, it's up to her to get them out of this deadly game, and into the quiet life they've always wanted. With the help of a crooked cop and the FBI, she concocts a plan. If it succeeds, Isaias goes to prison for life, and she and Evan get immunity from prosecution. If she fails, she may die-along with Evan, her sister, and countless others. With eyes all over and the FBI involved, will Riel pull off the sting operation? Or will they all go down in a blaze of drugs and gunfire?
