She doesn't know why. And the only man who seems to have the answers is the one man she refuses to trust. ⚿ But danger has a habit of drawing closer. So do people.

In which she infiltrates a cartel to burn it down from the inside and save her sister, only to end up as the prisoner of probably the worst man she could've possibly gotten caught by. A man who has every reason to hate her and fully intends to make her pay for what she's done before eventually killing her. Except things don't exactly go according to plan, and when the cartel turns on both of them, they're forced to run together through the desert while being hunted by the same people they were once hunting/working for. So now they're stuck with each other, dehydrated, pissed off, barely surviving and probably one argument away from killing each other themselves. Basically: enemies to lovers, cartel shit, forced proximity, running for their lives and two people who absolutely should NOT trust each other having no choice but to do exactly that.
