Welcome to a world where danger lurks in the shadows, love defies the impossible, and every choice could be life or death.
At thirteen, Aurelia’s world collapses when her parents begin working for the Juarez Cartel—a ruthless organization running drugs and trafficking women through their Texas border town. Determined not to be consumed by their darkness, Aurelia secretly gathers years of incriminating evidence, planning her escape.
Her moment comes when her parents arrange her marriage to a cartel member. Forced to run, she turns everything over to the FBI and enters witness protection.
But even a new identity isn’t enough.
The cartel grows stronger, richer, and more violent. And when they come searching for the girl who betrayed them, Aurelia must choose:
❌ Keep running
or
🔥 Fight back
Her journey twists through secrets, danger, and a love powerful enough to either save her—or destroy her.
"With These Hands is a masterclass in emotional tension, atmospheric danger, and blistering chemistry. T.R. Motley delivers a debut that grips your heart from page one and refuses to let go. Aurelia is a heroine readers will root for until the last breath."
