Carmen was raised by her mother far from the shadows that once haunted their bloodline. But fate has a way of pulling you home. In her late teens, Carmen reconnects with the family she never truly knew-a powerful mafia that welcomes her with cold expectations. She grows up fast, hardened by secrets and shaped by loyalty. Now, she's ready to leave that with her brother right beside her world behind with her brother right beside her-or at least try.
College offers Carmen a taste of normalcy, of freedom. And then she meets Brianna.
Bold, enigmatic, and fiercely independent, Brianna is on her own collision course with destiny. As the heir to her parents' small but ruthless gang, she's been raised to take the reins-whether she wants to or not. She sees through Carmen's mask, and Carmen sees through hers. Their connection is instant, electric, and undeniable.
But as their love deepens, so does a strange, suffocating feeling-a sense that something terrible is looming. The streets grow quieter, loyalties waver, and the line between their families' pasts and their futures begins to blur. Carmen and Brianna can feel it: a storm is coming, and it won't leave either of them untouched.
