PROLOGUE

When Katelyn Wilds was only sixteen years old, she witnessed her first bank robbery. She was only doing what her mother said: "Take small amount of money out of our bank account. Let's say about 40 or 50 dollars". All she can remember is her heart pounding as one of the bank robbers pressed a gun to her forehead and him saying in her ear, "Wait for me. I'll come for you" before the cops barged through the door. Now three years later, Katelyn is in college and is walking home from a party her friends took her to when she gets jumped in an alley way and kidnapped. The only catch is that the person behind her kidnapping is the same boy that robbed the bank Katelyn was in three years ago and whispered those words to her. Turns out, his name is Ricky, he's a member of the most notorious and dangerous street gang in all of Los Angeles which is run by his older brother, and his mother was murdered when he was only seven. As the days pass, Katelyn begins to plan her escape, but suddenly overthinks it when she starts falling head over heels for Ricky. But with the police hot on their trails and them constantly dodging bullets from their enemies, Katelyn is torn between choosing the two things that she loves most: Ricky or her life.
