"In San Miguel, the rain doesn't wash away the blood. It only makes it run faster." San Miguel is a labyrinth of concrete and corruption, a city gripped by an invisible, ruthless war between the State and the drug lords. This is where Ginevra "Gin" Vance lands. Ivory skin, a storm of red hair, and a dark past in Miami that tried to destroy her, Gin is not your classic helpless woman. She is a DEA agent with a soul full of shards and a tongue as sharp as a razor, ready to fight in a precinct where everyone looks down on her, convinced she won't last a week. Gin isn't afraid of the city's monsters because she has already faced her own. But within the suffocating walls of the precinct and across the rain-slicked streets of San Miguel, someone is about to strip away her every defense. Someone she should run from, yet who seems to be the only mirror reflecting her own darkness. Amidst shootouts, unspeakable secrets, and an attraction as dangerous as a stray bullet, Gin will have to figure out if that man is her undoing... or the only place where her heart can finally stop trembling.
