Smoke&Bloodlines book 2: Broken Loyalties

Trust is fragile. Power is shifting. And betrayal?
It's already inside the room.

Mara Vega built her empire on control-but control is slipping.

With enemies closing in and pressure mounting from every direction, the one thing she never planned for is becoming her biggest weakness: trusting Dante Reyes.

He's proven himself.
He's protected her.
And somehow, he's become the only person she can rely on.

But in a world like theirs, trust doesn't come without consequences.

As whispers of betrayal spread and carefully planted lies begin to fracture her foundation, Mara is forced to question everything-including the people she's trusted the longest.

Especially Jace.

Loyal. Protective. Always there.

Until he isn't.

Meanwhile, a new threat moves in silence.
Cold. Calculated. Watching every weakness unfold.

And she doesn't just want Mara's empire-
She wants to break her.

As tension turns into obsession, alliances begin to shatter, and emotions spiral out of control, Mara finds herself caught between the man she's starting to trust...

And the one who refuses to let her go.

Because in this game, loyalty isn't just tested-

It's destroyed.
