Gabriella has been hunted all her life by a madman who knew of her unique abilities even before she did. She'd been abandoned by one parent, abused by another, and the feelings of being alone and unloved had almost made her welcome the vividly cruel world she found herself in. Then she met Mike Stanton. And she realized her world didn't always have to be cold and lonely. She finally recognized that she might be worthy of someone else's love. But there was a problem. Her past wouldn't let her go. And she was in danger of dragging Mike and everyone else she cared about into Hell with her. Mike didn't understand the power of the heart until he met Gabby...a woman who hadn't had nearly enough love in her twenty-four, hellish years on earth. Then he was told to protect her. And he fell hard and fast for the woman whose instincts and actions kept urging her to fly away, like the beautiful falcon he'd named her. Can they find the love they both seek before an ugly past and an intensely cruel organization rips them apart? Or will the future they seek only bring them despair as factions they can't control try to destroy the feelings they're just learning to cherish?

Captured by the Gestapo, she is imprisoned in Auschwitz, but while her family is sent to their deaths, she is spared. Realizing her ability to play chess, the sadistic camp deputy, Karl Fritzsch, decides to use her as a chess opponent to entertain the camp guards.

Survive. By cleverly provoking Fritzsch’s volatile nature in front of his superiors, Maria intends to orchestrate his downfall. Only then will she have a chance to evade the fate awaiting her and see him punished for his wickedness. As she carries out her plan and the war nears its end, she challenges her former nemesis to one final game, certain to end in life or death, in failure or justice.
