In a city built on crime, loyalty is a weapon-and betrayal is a death sentence.
Costa Cabello was born into power, bred in violence, and taught never to trust anyone. When Nova-his one weakness-disappears without a trace, Costa cuts her out like rot. He believes the whispers: that she cheated, that she ran, that she was never really his.
But Nova didn't run. She was hunted.
Left for dead in a back alley by the very people she trusted-Rio, Costa's best friend, and Nicole, her closest confidante-Nova survived. Alone. Pregnant. She raised their son, Lincoln, in the shadows, hiding from the life that nearly killed her.
Years later, fate throws them back together-just as Costa's empire begins to collapse. Surveillance fails. Enemies close in. A violent power shift is brewing in the city's underworld... and at the center of it is Rio, the brother Costa once bled for.
Now, Costa must face the truth: the woman he abandoned was the only one who ever loved him. And the child he never knew existed is now his greatest weakness.
As bullets fly, alliances shatter, and blood is spilled, Costa, Nova, and their son become targets in a game none of them asked to play. Joined by King, a stone-cold enforcer mourning the death of his own brother, the three must navigate a labyrinth of lies, vengeance, and unfinished love.
But in this city, love is a liability-and everyone bleeds eventually.
