The Price of Escape

The Price of Escape
Maria Clara has never cared for labels like thief or scammer. She prefers to call it survival-always choosing the fastest road to success, no matter the cost.
But when her job as an event planner throws her into the glittering world of Marabon's high society, she crosses paths with Fernando, a ruthless landowner with power, money, and a reputation for cruelty. Abandoned by his bride and robbed blind, Fernando demands every cent back-and Maria Clara suddenly becomes his prime target.
Rumors warned her about the dangerous man she now faces, but rumors don't compare to reality. Running is her only option. Hiding might buy her time. Yet one thing is certain: Fernando will stop at nothing to hunt her down, even if it means dragging her straight into hell.
