"What do you want from me?" "Hey, you don't have to hurt yourself doing that. I'll let you go home— but you have to do something for me first." . . "They took Sofi; they have your daughter." ----------- One night. One abduction. One choice; Family or Career. A surgical resident, Liana's life takes a turn for the worst when her daughter, Sofi is abducted. In her quest to get her back, Liana violates her oath as a doctor, takes part in a homicide, and the game of losses begins when she gets framed. Caught in a brawl between her past and present, Liana has to make a choice one that links her to many she thought she had broken links with. For a woman whose dream has always been to work in the OR, everything fades slowly, and suddenly the focus is shifted, but she has to survive. Her freedom is utterly dependent on a man she has long hated, the father of her child and a CEO of a multimillion law firm. What choice will Liana make to clear her name? And what if the past isn't so bad, will love bloom, or will the horrors of the past cling to her this time too? ------ [EXCERPT] "That's Sofi! That's my daughter Sofi. Don't do anything to her, I beg of you. Please don't lay a hand on her, please." He smiled cynically, then gestured to the doctor to free her straps. "You know what to do. We are going to watch everything you do. You call the police or tell anyone about this, she dies. And you die. Someone will drive you home." "This is nothing close to a good time! You are a jerk!" She shouted at him as he walked out unbothered. The man in lab coat stayed a while longer, looking at her, then left.
