With These Hands by T.R. Motley plunges readers into a dark and emotional world where love becomes the most dangerous weapon of all.

At thirteen, Aurelia’s life is torn apart by the Juarez Cartel. Years later, she escapes their deadly grip with one final act of courage—turning evidence over to the FBI and entering witness protection. But the past doesn’t forgive. And the cartel doesn’t forget.

Now hunted again, Aurelia must decide whether to keep running—or become the woman she was never allowed to be and fight back.

This unforgettable romantic suspense novel blends heart-pounding danger with intense, soul-deep love.

"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."
