Liliana Vela hates the term victim. She’s not a victim, she’s a fighter. Stubborn and strong with a quiet elegance, she’s determined to take back her life after escaping the clutches of human traffickers in her poor Mexican village. But she can’t stay safely over the border in America–unless the man who aided in her rescue is serious about his unconventional proposal to marry her.
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?

Summary
Dangerous Beauty by Melissa Koslin.
Reviews matter. This is a new author for me and I read this book based on a review I read. Mine will not be near as beautifully written but know that I adored this book and I am so glad I chose to read it.
From the opening scene the author just grabs you. Liliana escapes and is saved from human traffickers. Meric proposes marriage to help keep her safely in the US. I know you are thinking that sounds crazy. But trust that the author made it feasibly. She created two characters that were destined to be together.
I highly recommend this book for the character dynamics and the suspense.
Sexual content - no physicals scenes
Violence - there are no active rape scenes. You know what has happened to some of the women and they are kept in cages. I have a hard time with violence and I was able to read this.
No language or drinking.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
