Savages

2010

When their turf is challenged by the Mexican Baja Cartel, they face a threat like never before. The cartel sends a clear message: a "no" is unacceptable.

Refusing to back down, Ben and Chon find themselves in a precarious situation when the cartel escalates its threats by kidnapping Ophelia, their playmate and confidante. Her abduction sets off a dizzying array of ingenious negotiations and gripping plot twists.

This tale is a provocative, sexy, and darkly engrossing thrill ride that will leave you breathless as you explore the costs of freedom and the price of one amazing high.
