To the elite clients of his corporate empire, Xavier Lucas is a ruthless, brilliant businessman. To the criminal underworld, he is an untouchable assassin who never misses a mark. But at home, his marriage to Raquel- a woman with some fire behind her , a hairstylist who doesn't care for her family anymore. When they hire Karmen Simmons, a brilliant nursing student, to care for their daughter, the thin line that Xavier was trying to save shatters . Karmen knows how the human body works, how it breaks, and exactly how to mend Xavier's fractured soul. What starts as late-night temptation quickly spirals into a lethal obsession. When Xavier pushes Raquel with a divorce to openly claim Karmen, he thinks he can control the fallout. But Raquel didn't build her life up just for him to take it all away. As a vicious custody battle begins, a dangerous collision course is set: a hitman who wants out, a nursing student with her own survival instincts, and a wife who would rather see him dead than replaced.
