She was raised to smile sweetly and shoot without mercy. He was trained to rule an empire built on blood. Kataleya Rosario is the Cuban cartel princess no one sees coming-an assassin hidden beneath silk, a woman wrapped in charm but forged in violence. She follows her own rules, fears no man, and plays a deadly game with a smile on her blood-red lips. Adrian Romero is the cold, calculating heir to the Italian mafia throne. Feared by all. Loved by none. Except for the one girl who broke his heart when they were teenagers-the one girl he could never have. Now, they're being forced into an arranged marriage meant to end a war. But Kataleya doesn't bow, and Adrian doesn't beg. And love? That's not part of the contract. As secrets unravel, bullets fly, and passion ignites into obsession, the lines between love and hate blur. Beneath the violence lies a truth neither of them wants to admit-they were made for each other. But in a world where betrayal is currency and power means everything, can two assassins trust the one person who could destroy them both? 50 chapters of romance, war, and filthy temptation. Enemies. Lovers. And one final vow sealed in blood.
