Ali: In the first year of my marriage to Mateo, he kept a young model as his mistress. She was outgoing, sexy, and full of energy.

The Fated Series. Book #1. "A single minute without her in my arms and it felt like a lifetime." - Mateo Ramos My name is Mateo Adam Ramos. To most, it means nothing. But to the right people? My name sends a shiver down their spine. It's a name wrapped in blood, a legacy of violence and power-of a family that clawed its way to the top and left bodies in its wake. When you hear my name, you don't ask questions. You run. That was supposed to be my life: uphold the reputation, live up to the blood in my veins. Simple, right? Then she came along. A girl with soft brown eyes, a heart too good for this world, and a soul that gleams with everything I've tried to bury. She's goodness wrapped in temptation, a light I should be running from, not toward. But here I am, caught like a moth in her flame, my newest and most dangerous weakness. I wasn't supposed to care. I wasn't supposed to want anything more than power and control. But fate doesn't give a damn about my plans-or my family's rules. And now I'm tangled up in her, breaking every rule I was born to follow, chasing something that could ruin us both. This is the story I never wanted to tell. The story of a man born to lead, who's now risking everything to follow one woman. Watch me try to rewrite my fate... and see how much blood I'm willing to spill to keep her safe. # 1 - goodstory 1/28/23 # 1 - amor 6/16/23 #2 - loveatfirstsight 6/4/24Complete
