Natalie Vega goes to her brother's apartment expecting answers. Instead, she finds Santiago Sinclair.
He's calm. Controlled. Watching her like he already knows what she's going to say before she says it. He asks about missing money. About things her brother never mentioned. About debts Natalie didn't know she'd inherited.
She should walk away.
But when Natalie uncovers proof of what her brother was really involved in, she's pulled into a world built on leverage, quiet violence, and rules no one explains twice. A world Santiago moves through effortlessly. A world that should terrify her.
It doesn't.
Natalie is good at this. Better than she should be. She sees patterns others miss. She learns fast. And the deeper she goes, the more she realizes the danger isn't Santiago Sinclair or the people watching her.
It's how much she likes the control.
The power.
The way this world answers something in her she didn't know was empty.
Santiago notices too. What grows between them isn't love or safety. It's tension. Recognition. Two people circling the same truth and daring the other to flinch first.
Because Natalie isn't being dragged into the dark. She's stepping into it.
And when she finally looks in the mirror, she won't recognize the girl who walked in looking for closure.
Some devils don't knock.
They come looking.

I walked by the other alley and this time I heard groans of pain. Me being me, I went to inspect what it was and I found a rather strong looking man laying on the floor in a pool of blood. I put Aj down at a safe distance and told him to look away and call an ambulance. Me being a nurse I taught Aj to be able to call for help when it is needed and he is always a great help and listens to me in these sort of situations. "Sir can you hear me? " I knelt down next to him checking his heart rate and to see if he was still breathing. And thank the gods he was. "Sir? If you can hear me squeeze my hand." I held his hand and he managed to squeeze only lightly but I left out a breath of relief when he did. "Ok sir, my name is Emrys and I'm here with my son Aj. Don't worry I'm a doctor and I'm here to help you." -------------- Book four of the Mortimer series #1 in love (24/06/19) #1 in romance (24/06/19) #1 in leader (24/06/19) #1 in action (24/06/19) #1 in mafia (24/06/19) #1 in adventure (24/06/19) #1 in fiction (02/07/19)Lengkap
