The Other Lotus Girl by Daniel A. Riddle

Not All Lives Are Lived the Same

When twenty-one-year-old Vรขn throws herself into Stuart Henderson's car on an ordinary evening in Guildford, his life and everyone connected to him changes in an instant.

What begins as a desperate plea for help draws Stuart, his husband Martin, and an unlikely group of companions into a world they never knew existed: hidden networks, bought police officers, and men who make people disappear.

For over twenty brutal months she was moved across Europe, surviving warehouses, border crossings, and the unimaginable cost of trying to protect the people she loved. Every scar she carries is a reminder of what she lost and what she is determined to reclaim.

Now the men who owned her want her back. And they will hurt anyone who stands in their way.

Outmatched and unprepared, this unlikely group discovers that courage doesn't always look like heroism. Sometimes it simply looks like showing up when it matters.

Readers' Favorite 5-Star Review

An emotional read that kept me on the edge of my seat. The story was a roller coaster ride filled with danger, humor, and lies. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what turn the plot would take. I could not put the book down. The theme of human trafficking is handled with great care. Excellently written, and I was surprised by the ending.
