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.

At twelve years old, Melody Reign Saldana learned that monsters don't hide under beds - they wear designer suits and carry loaded guns. After witnessing a ruthless drug lord execute her parents in cold blood, Melody was forced into a life she never chose. Raised by her powerful uncle Alejandro in the deadly streets of Miami, she grew into something far more dangerous than a grieving little girl. Now twenty-two, Melody is one of the most feared contract killers in the city. Beautiful, cold-hearted, and impossible to catch, she leaves behind nothing but bodies... and a lipstick-stained kiss on every victim. Revenge is the only thing keeping her alive, and she'll stop at nothing until the men responsible for her parents' deaths are buried six feet under. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Kane Blackwell - a twenty-nine-year-old homicide detective haunted by a tragedy of his own. After losing his parents to murder at just eight years old, Kane dedicated his life to putting killers behind bars. He's smart, relentless, and dangerously close to uncovering Miami's bloodiest secrets. What starts as a game of cat and mouse quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Because the closer Kane gets to solving his cases... the closer he gets to Melody. In a city ruled by money, violence, and betrayal, love could be the deadliest mistake of all.

He's built his empire by never letting emotions cloud his judgment, until one chance meeting with Soleia leaves him wanting something he's never allowed himself to have: peace. In a city where love can get you killed, is risking your heart ever worth the cost?
