One forbidden kiss becomes a dangerous addiction.
And soon, Maria must choose:
stay loyal to the husband who owns her life...
or risk everything for the man who could ruin it.
🔥 Rival cartels. Deadly betrayals. A love that could burn the world.
The rules say she should hate him.
But her heart only beats for her enemy's son.
