Matias, her assigned bodyguard, is a steadfast protector whose quiet strength and surprising tenderness slowly chips away at her defenses. But it’s Wes—with his haunted past and brooding gaze—who ignites a fire in her she cant ignore, and sparks a connection as electrifying as it is forbidden.
Trapped in the crossfire of rebellion, desire, and deadly secrets, Mara must navigate a treacherous path where loyalty is a dangerous game and love is the deadliest weapon. With both her heart and life at stake, can she find the strength to save her brother and choose the love that might set her free?
