Her greatest desire is to be free. Can his gift fulfill that desire?When Maya Garza's step-father drags her to the cantina, planning to auction her off to cover his debts, she is desperate to escape. Her step-brother's best friend, Rafael, her worst nightmare, is eager to purchase her. There is no hope for her as she stands atop the table, a room full of men leering at her.Yaniv Madrigal is searching for his brother, Rafael. They were to leave Los Angeles today and head home. The wagons and family are waiting, but Rafael has disappeared. He can't believe his eyes when he finds him bidding for a young woman who has the look of a trapped animal in her eyes. He can't turn his back on Maya so Yaniv ends up buying her. Now she falls under his protection, but can he protect his heart from her? As Maya travels with Yaniv and his family, she must avoid Rafael's advances, learn who she is without her family's oppression, and try not to fall in love with the man who purchased her and then gave her the greatest gift. A gift reminiscent of that extended to all by God.
