A Taste for Trouble

The Sacrifice that Awakened Her

At age four, Salem was sold to and raised in the Upper City, naively believing she belonged to the family that took her in. She was so wrong, her stay there came at a hefty price. At sixteen, she is sacrificed by the Prime Minister to awaken his son, Malia. But Salem survives, and she too awakens. Believed to be dead, she is disposed off in the Outer City where she is thankfully saved by the enigmatic He Li. Years later, Salem encounters Malia again. Now older, the explosive and rebellious son of the very man who sacrificed her, Malia has turned against his father and wants nothing to do with the life chosen for him. Then there's He Li—the powerful Mafia Boss of the Outer City who seems to have known Salem long before she was taken away. One is the boy she was sacrificed for. The other is the man who remembers who she was. And as Salem gets caught between the two men, she begins to uncover the truth about the past, the family that raised her, the sacrifice that changed her life, and why they were willing to throw her away in the first place. This time, Salem refuses to be anyone's sacrifice. And maybe the people who disposed of her never understood what they had created.
