When Freedom turned to Danger (LOVE BEYOND THE FAIRYTALE Book 5)

She thought she was ready to face the world on her own. She was wrong.

Lucia Ruiz grew up under the shadow of her mother’s kidnapping and the overprotection of her family. Her only refuge was her grandfather’s ranch and Ryan, the boy she’s always loved; the protector who’s always been by her side. Until the day he asks her to be just friends.

Determined to move on, Lucia builds a life of her own. But a friend’s betrayal changes everything. Like her father, misplaced kindness becomes her downfall, putting her in the crosshairs of the deadliest cartels and guerrillas in South America.

When Ryan finds her against impossible odds, and they finally give in to their love, she thinks her nightmare is over. But it has just begun.

Surrounded by criminals on all fronts, the cost of her freedom may be higher than either of them can bear. And the only way out demands a sacrifice that could destroy them both.

Sometimes, freedom becomes a prison of its own.

An emotional romantic suspense with women’s fiction elements, that will break your heart and put it back together. Book 5 in the Love Beyond the Fairytale series. Closed-Door. Standalone HEA.
