T-misha
Power: The illusion of control.
Perfidy: A deliberate act of betrayal
***
Five years ago, Brad Miller broke every rule to protect the woman who never asked to be saved. He walked into hell and came out wearing the hot crown. Now he owns the operation, money flows, the crew obeys, and Tatiana sleeps beside him every night. It should be enough.
But nothing stays clean for long in their world. Not loyalty. Not love.
When Vicente Robles, the worst rival of them all, resurfaces with teeth bared, and tension inside the Syndicate begins to fester, Brad finds himself pulled in too many directions. He's used to watching his enemies hard enough to know their next move. But this time, the crack doesn't come from the outside; it comes from her.
Tatiana.
Now, Brad is forced to confront everything he's ignored for years:
Can he protect his cartel without losing the only woman who ever made him weak?
Can he forgive her without losing himself?
And how far is he willing to go to keep what's his from slipping away?
Because the truth is, no matter how ruthless he becomes, or how tightly he grips his empire, Tatiana remains the one variable he can't control. His strength and his weakness. His reason and his undoing.
This is a story of how power don't ever make sense, how love doesn't always guarantee stability, how power can ruin you, and how the past never really dies.
