She fought for change. He fought for vengeance. Together, they'll risk it all to save lives of the poverty-stricken in the favelas.

Ronaldo Cevere, haunted by his sister's murder, turns an international scandal into a shot at redemption by creating a futbol program designed to give outcasts like Daniela Gomes a chance at a better life. But as a former futbol star, his high-profile defiance of the status quo paints a lethal target on his back—and on the girls he's sworn to protect.

When powerful enemies attempt to shut Ronaldo's program down, he and Daniela join forces to defend the girls' chance to escape their life of imprisonment. Two unlikely allies will discover that the greatest threats sometimes come from the most unexpected places. And in a world where bullets speak louder than hope, more innocent blood will run in the streets...and Daniela could be next.

This rags-to-riches, international crime and suspense, sports, and social justice story is packed with family drama, clean romance, and making the world a better place. Fans of Susie May Warren and Robin Patchen will love this international drama.
