A Contemporary Crime Romance with Enemies to Lovers, Forced Proximity, and Undercover Love.
After receiving a cryptic message and a coded journal, Mari Miller travels to Santa Fe, New Mexico in the dead of night. She's desperate for answers to the mysterious death of her brother. The Santa Fe PD have deemed it an accidental overdose, but she refuses to believe it. Cruz Diaz, the arrogant, and oh-so sexy bartender of Club Cuervo may hold the answers. Seducing this tatted up bad boy seems like the perfect plan. The only trouble is, he's like a locked vault. Despite the chemistry burning between them, Cruz refuses to share what he knows.
Mari has been nothing but trouble since the moment she met Cruz. Crashing into his sports car was the first encounter of many. She's moved into the apartment complex next door and shows up at his job. He can't escape. In fact, no matter where he goes, she's there. Mari's relentless with her interrogations, but his secrets must remain buried, for everyone's safety. Deceit is necessary in his line of work and Mari has no clue the dangers that surround her.
Beneath the veil of wealth and respectability lurks an illicit drug empire, and a ruthless drug lord that will stop at nothing to seize power and eliminate all obstacles in his path. Mari wants to expose those responsible for her brother's demise, but the closer she gets to discovering the truth, the more she realizes, the next question might be her last.
