The Moreno Cartel murdered Miguel’s family. Years later, he’s ready to take his revenge. But when the feelings he’s developing for the cartel boss’s son get in the way, love becomes the deadliest game.

Miguel. Undercover. Tormented by his past. Dead inside.

Nero. Son of a cartel boss. Depraved. Lives to spite the world.

Miguel loathes everything about working for the Moreno cartel. But the blood on his hands is a price he’s willing to pay if he gets to put down the man who murdered his sisters. Miguel’s goal seems within reach when he becomes the bodyguard of his target’s only son, but having to play a double game with the infuriating Nero Moreno becomes impossible when the cartel prince starts hitting on him.

There has never been a more infuriating demon of a man than Nero. From his filed teeth and green hair to the gaudy gold necklaces and a diamond-studded AK-47, he is narco excess personified and everything Miguel despises.

Or is he? As Miguel gets to spend more time in Nero’s company, he sees glimpses of a man he could have become close with in another life. In this one though, there is no room for love in his black heart.
Nero Moreno isn’t planning on giving him a choice. With the endless buffet of flesh available to him, he shouldn’t care about rejection, but every time his insanely hot bodyguard gives him the cold shoulder, Nero is more set on seduction.

He can see a spark of interest behind the dead black eyes. What does Miguel hide under his tattooed skin and expressionless face? Why won’t he let Nero touch him? Is his heart really made of stone?

Nero will not rest until he finds out.

When their goals collide, blood and bullets pave the path to redemption.
