Ricky Dunn is the human equivalent of a splinter under my fingernail. Annoying. Impossible to ignore. And unfortunately, the older brother of my best friend. Our problems started the night I graduated high school. One reckless night. One secret. One agreement. No strings. Ricky kept his side of the bargain. Years later, we're still stuck in the same small town, crossing paths often enough to drive me crazy. Not that I've noticed how broad his shoulders have become or how unfairly handsome he is now.

Peace has a price. Mine is marriage. As heir to the Luciano Famiglia, I was raised to become Capo. Loyalty was beaten into me. Mercy was not. My father made sure I understood that power belongs to the ruthless. Now our enemies are growing stronger, and I've proposed the unthinkable—an alliance with the Roríguez Cartel. The treaty requires blood. Or, in this case, vows. To unite two criminal empires, I'm ordered to marry Catalina Ruiz, the beautiful eldest daughter of one of the cartel's most powerful lieutenants. She believes she knows the sacrifice she's making.

As consigliere to the Luciano Famiglia, I'm respected for the things most men fear—my skill with a knife, my ruthless interrogations, and my unwavering loyalty. I don't expect happiness. Men like me aren't made for it. Then I meet Camila Ruiz. The youngest daughter of one of the Roríguez Cartel’s most powerful lieutenants is everything I'm not—kind, beautiful, and untouched by the darkness that defines my life.

Mafia/cartel, arranged marriage, forbidden, possessive hero, sheltered heroine, he falls first, dangerous romance. Reinaldo Rodríguez. Emiliano Ruiz. Both are dangerous, deadly, and powerful. Both are second-generation soldiers proving themselves in the Rodríguez cartel. Both want me. Of course, I wasn’t told until it was too late. That’s the way things work in the famiglia. My fate is up to Dario Luciano, my guardian. He doesn’t care about the way the men make me feel.

I’m Elijah Rhodes—top-tier agent for Guardian Security. We protect the world’s elite: heads of state, royalty, billionaires, celebrities. The untouchable. I didn’t come from that world. I came from Special Ops, from impossible missions and impossible choices. The kind that harden a man until there’s nothing left worth saving. That’s why I have rules: No long-term assignments.

The Roríguez cartel is spinning out of control, tragedy putting the alliance and our future in question. I’m Emiliano Ruiz and throughout the last few years, I’ve witnessed my sisters being doled out to members of the Luciano Mafia. The cartel has also taken famiglia women. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Luciano famiglia’s turn to take a bride. My mind is set—it’s my turn.
