The Rise by Erin Trejo

“You think you’re weak because of what they did to you. You think that you’re weak because of how they hurt you. But you’re not weak, Lana.”
Hunter’s childhood was not one any kid would want. In fact, it was the exact opposite. With no one to protect him, he became a protector of others. He now leads the Gods in rescuing trafficked kids, returning them to their homes, and taking out the traffickers in any manner he sees fit.
Lana had her childhood stolen. Sold by her father at the age of seven, she has known nothing but pain and heartache. When she is sent with the next shipment of kids, her family expects her to discover information about them to help her family kill them.
What no one expected was Lana would find someone as broken as her. Hunter doesn’t do soft. He’s learned to be hard to protect himself and those he saves until Lana lands in one of his cages, and he has no idea what to do with her.
Can the broken possibly rescue each other?
