Or the Girl Dies Rachel Rust

One school project. One kidnapping. One night they won't forget. Natalie is an honors student with perfect grades. Victor is a drug dealer with a cryptic past. When a school assignment forces them to work together, things quickly spiral out of control. Victor fails to complete his part of their project, so Natalie hunts him down the night before it's due. But Victor's kingpin boss interrupts their study date and drags Natalie down into a seedy underworld where anything can be bought and sold-including her. Over the course of one night-while dodging bad guys and trying not to inhale-Natalie discovers shocking truths about Victor. And she'll need to choose between preserving her perfect academic future and helping him escape his troubled past. Except one final revelation about Victor may be too much for Natalie to survive.
