Robin Bellamy comes from a powerful family that would burn the world to protect its own. Now, that loyalty is being used against them.
Abducted and smuggled out of the country, Robin is held captive by men who want the Bellamys’ cooperation, and they’re willing to bruise her and break her to get it.
Cruz Moreno is the man ordered to make her suffer. Taken in at fifteen by a ruthless crime boss, Cruz learned that obedience keeps him alive and mercy gets people killed. But Robin is defiant, fearless, and way too tempting for a man who can’t afford a weakness.
She should hate him.
He should destroy her.
Instead, the heat between them grows more dangerous with every encounter.
But Cruz’s ties to the criminal world conceal secrets neither of them understands, and the truth could destroy them before they ever have the chance to claim their forbidden fate.
