Because it is My Blood-------pan macmillan
Reluctant heir of a Mafia boss. Star-crossed lover. Paparazzi
darling. Hitman’s target. Anya Balanchine’s amazing story continues in
the second part of the Birthright trilogy.
Freed from jail, Anya
hopes that things will get back to normal. But life on the outside is
even more dangerous than life behind bars. Some of her gangland family
want revenge for the crime for which she has done time. The shooting of
her uncle.
Forced to flee the country, Anya hides out in a cacao
plantation in Mexico. There she learns the secrets of the chocolate
trade, a trade that is illegal and deadly in her native New York. There
too she discovers that seemingly random acts of violence carried out
across the world have a single target: her family. As innocent
bystanders get caught in the crossfire Anya must act fast and decisively
to stop it, no matter what the danger to herself.
