Blurb-
At first glance, twenty-two-year-old Brianna’s life seems perfect. But she harbors a deadly secret—her father is the leader of a ruthless drug cartel. Brianna struggles to find her place in a world her father meticulously controls, and believes she is nothing but a pawn in her father’s deadly games.
After graduating from college with an enormous debt, Dominic finds himself lured by money and power into a job that appears too good to be true. He doesn’t realize he works for a drug cartel until he’s in too deep. Trying to keep his family safe, he takes a deal offered by Brianna’s father and agrees to marry Brianna while continuing to work for the cartel.
Brianna and Dominic must rely on one another as their lives become further entwined in the lethal drug world. When Dominic discovers a deadly secret, he begins to question everything and turns to Brianna for support. However, Brianna’s heart belongs to another man—an undercover DEA agent.
The DEA closes in on the drug cartel, forcing Brianna and Dominic to choose sides, igniting a battle between family loyalty, love, and survival. Brianna soon realizes that she may be the only person capable of bringing down her father’s empire—if she can find a way to outsmart the master manipulator, without losing herself, and her heart, in the process.

Excerpt:
There was a soft knock on her door.
Matt popped his head in, making her flush. As much as she fought against it,
Brianna had to admit, Matt was hot. She hadn’t seen him since their dinner the
other night. There was something different about him from other men she’d
known. She liked that Matt was intelligent and highly sought after in the law
field. Even though he was confident, he wasn’t cocky, and there was something
gentle about him. She couldn’t put her finger on it, but she liked that he
seemed interested in getting to know her. It was a refreshing change. Of
course, it was also nice that Matt was untouched by her father.
“Do you have any plans for the
weekend?” he asked, giving her a half smile.
“Nothing too exciting. I have a
lot to do before we meet with the judge on Monday.”
“Well, you can’t work all
weekend, so I have a proposition for you.” Matt walked in and sat on the edge
of Brianna’s desk, pulling two tickets from his shirt pocket. “I’m taking you
to a baseball game Saturday night.”
Did he just ask her out? Was
Matt interested in her? This wasn’t good. Why couldn’t Matt be married or
unattractive? Why did she have to meet him now? “I don’t know,” she managed to
say.
“You owe me a dinner,” Matt
reminded her, the dimple in his cheek showing.
“I can’t.” She really wanted
to, but her father would never approve.
Matt raised his eyebrows. “I’m
not asking you out on a date, so don’t get all defensive. I’m simply asking you
to a baseball game, and it’s work related if that makes you feel any better.”
He leaned in close, smiling like they shared a secret.
Why did he have to keep looking at her
like that? “Work related how?” she asked. Perhaps there was a way to get her
father’s approval.
“The firm has a box. So,
technically it’s a work function.”
“Is anyone else going?”
“No,” he whispered.
Brianna wanted to be alone with
Matt, but she wasn’t sure she could control herself around him. Salazar’s plan
was very direct and specific, and Matt was definitely not a part of the plan. She couldn’t afford to lose focus now. But
the way Matt sat on the desk, his smile, those eyes—she was drawn to him. She
closed her eyes, smelling his musky scent. Not once in Brianna’s life had Salazar
ever asked her what she wanted. Everything was planned and she was expected to
go along with it. Against her better judgment, she agreed to go to the game.
“I’ll pick you up at six.” Matt
smiled. He slid from her desk and strolled to the door.
“No, I’ll meet you there.”
After glancing back at her,
Matt responded, “Suit yourself,” and left.
Brianna was grinning so big,
her cheeks hurt. A baseball game sounded like fun. She just needed to make sure
her father knew it was a work function so he wouldn’t jump to the wrong
conclusion. A little voice in the back of her mind screamed at the stupidity of
getting involved with Matt, but Brianna chose to ignore the voice of reason.
