The Poderoso brothers are feared and untouchable. Ruthless in business and merciless with their enemies, their name alone commands respect. But when Mateo Poderoso meets Elena his world turns around.
Elena knows exactly who he is. The man who murdered her brother. Diego's death shattered her life, and she has spent every moment since despising the Poderoso name. But fate is cruel, and despite the hatred burning in her heart, she can't ignore the way Mateo's piercing gaze makes her weak-or how his touch ignites a fire she never wanted to feel.
Mateo is used to getting what he wants. And he wants her. But winning over the woman who wants him dead won't be easy-especially when enemies are closing in, secrets refuse to stay buried, and the past threatens to destroy them both.
In a world where love is a weakness and vengeance is everything, will Elena's hatred be stronger than Mateo's desire? Or will they both fall victim to a passion as dangerous as the life he leads?
Blood and Betrayal is an electrifying tale of forbidden love, deadly secrets, and the fine line between hate and obsession.
