Because It Is My Blood (Birthright, Bk. 2)

When Anya Balachine is released from jail, she's determined to put her life in order. She's going to get over her ex, turn her back on her criminal family and concentrate on her siblings and her studies.

But her murdered father's family have a different idea. They're not going to let her walk away so easily.

When they take a hit out on her life, Anya's forced to flee to Mexico. There she discovers that life isn't all bad - but she also finds that, so far from home, it's impossible to protect those she loves.

Doing nothing isn't an option. But going back to New York could kill her. Literally.
