THE COLLECTION

How far would you go to control your own destiny? Mia Morrissey has escaped: from America, from the Registry, from the role she was raised to play?a perfect bride auctioned to the highest bidder. She's enemy number one to the world's largest power, and there's no turning back now. From the moment she and her friends Andrew and Carter cross the border into Mexico, it's clear their troubles are only beginning. Mexico may have laws to protect runaway brides, but as U.S. Army deserters, Andrew and Carter face deportation or worse. The young men are immediately picked up by a violent and omnipotent militia?the Collection?and it's Mia's turn to rescue them. With time running out, her ex-fiancé's henchman on her trail, and a dangerous tide shifting back in America, Mia will do whatever she has to. Even if that means risking everything and putting herself back on an auction block. The price of freedom is never too high . . . but what if the cost is her life?
