Prologue
Blood and loyalty—one demands sacrifice, the other betrayal.
Brielle Navarro never wanted a life tangled in crime. But being the daughter of a cartel boss doesn’t come with a choice. When her father arranges her marriage to cement an alliance with a rival syndicate, she’s handed off like a prize to Dario Veleno—a man as dangerous as he is just beautiful.
But Dario has secrets of his own. He's not just the heir to the Veleno crime family. He's a government plant, a deep-cover agent buried so far in the underworld that he’s forgotten who he was before.
The mission was simple: Marry the Navarro princess. Infiltrate the family. Bring them down from the inside.
He never planned to fall for her.
