Lia Hernández Rodríguez may seem like just another girl trying to get by in her senior year at a new high school in the United State ,but behind her sarcastic smirk and cold exterior lies a dangerous secret. As the youngest heir to the Mexican mafia, she's grown up learning the rules of power, loyalty, and manipulation. The move from Mexico to America was supposed to keep her family safe, but it hasn't been easy to blend into a new life when your blood runs cold with the legacy of crime.
Lia does her best to keep a low profile-until Ivan walks into her life. Tall, dark, and dangerously handsome, Ivan is the heir to a rival Russian mafia family. He's everything Lia should avoid, yet she can't seem to shake the undeniable pull between them. With his icy blue eyes and a reputation as the school's untouchable bad boy, Ivan has a way of making everything feel like a game, and right now, Lia is his latest challenge.
When a heated argument over a class answer sparks an unexpected connection, their rivalry intensifies. Neither of them knows the full truth about their families' connections or the even darker forces at play-the Romes, a deadly organization they've never heard of but are about to clash with.
As their families' dirty secrets begin to unravel, Lia and Ivan must navigate a dangerous game where trust is a luxury they can't afford. With every stare, every argument, and every spark of chemistry between them, the line between enemies and lovers blurs. And when secrets are exposed, both of them will have to decide whether they're willing to risk everything for each other-or if the price of their forbidden romance is too high to pay.
