Ravaged Hearts by Julie Weaver

Vaughn
Protecting Hope is no longer a job; it’s an obsession. And God help the fool who tries to harm what’s mine.
Somehow, this incredible woman doesn’t see me as a monster, brutalized and broken. She makes me want to overcome the debilitating fear of touch that’s gripped me since my captivity. With Hope’s help, maybe I can.
Now, I’m consumed by a new terror: losing the woman I love.
As long as her father’s cartel continues to ravage Mexico, the risk of him finding Hope and dragging her back to his brutal world is a constant threat.
But to eliminate the most powerful man in Mexico, we may both need to face the horrors that plague our nightmares.

Hope
I never dreamed I’d find a man who could look beyond my facial scars and family name to see the real me. Not a victim, not a narco princess. Just a woman with hopes and dreams like any other.
Now that I have Vaughn, I’m never letting him go.
His team of mercenaries think they can take down my father’s cartel like they have all the others. But Carlos Espinoza is no ordinary target, and killing the man who’s made my life a misery will be far more dangerous than anything they’ve tackled before.
When cartel violence escalates and threatens the people I love, one thing is clear: to win this fight, I can’t hide from my father any longer.
But if the battle claims the life of the man who holds my heart, it’ll destroy me.
