"Think Narcos meets The Devil Wears Prada, but with higher stakes and better sex."
She owns Miami's most exclusive art gallery. He owns half of Colombia's cocaine trade. But in their dangerous game of power and seduction, only one of them knows who's really in control.
Salma Reyes moves through Miami's glittering art world like liquid silk-MBA from Colombia, art history degree from NYU, and a smile that can close million-dollar deals. Her gallery, Espacio Rojo, is where Miami's elite come to acquire pieces that will define their legacy. What they don't know is that every sale, every transaction, every beautifully curated exhibition is a front for the most sophisticated money laundering operation the FBI has ever encountered.
Santiago "El Lobo" Mendoza thinks he owns her. The cartel leader keeps her in a Biscayne Bay penthouse, funds her lavish lifestyle, and trusts her with his most dangerous secrets. He believes she's his greatest asset-a brilliant woman who transforms his blood money into legitimate wealth through the art world's shadowy networks.
But Santiago has made a fatal miscalculation.
Salma isn't his kept woman. She's his replacement.
