Amara Vasquez has never been one to back down from a story, especially one involving the mafia. As an investigative journalist, she digs deep into the most dangerous corners of society, but when her latest story leads her directly to Damian Moretti, the ruthless mafia boss, she steps into a world darker than any she's encountered before.
Damian Moretti's empire is built on fear and control. After his father's betrayal, he's become an impenetrable wall-cold, calculating, and unforgiving. His family's legacy is all that matters to him, until Amara's relentless investigation threatens to expose everything he's worked for. The last thing he needs is a beautiful journalist getting under his skin, but he can't help but be drawn to her defiance and sharp wit. Their dangerous attraction is a powder keg, and neither is ready to admit how deep it runs.
With Alejandro Castillo, a sadistic rival mafia boss, ready to tear everything apart, Amara must decide if she's willing to go all in and risk everything for the truth-no matter the cost. In this world of power and betrayal, lines blur between love and hate, and Amara will have to navigate a deadly game of alliances, secrets, and lies.
As she gets closer to Damian, she realizes that not everything is as it seems in the world of organized crime-and some secrets might be better left buried. Can Amara trust Damian, or is she just another pawn in a much bigger game?
