The moment I witness a murder, my quiet, careful existence goes up in smoke. I'm thrust into the world of Santiago Hernández, Central America’s most ruthless cartel leader.
In exchange for my life, I’m placed under his watchful eye. Day in and day out, he waits for me to betray my promise of silence.
The longer I stay in his world, the deeper I fall for the glimpses of the man beneath that handsome yet cunning exterior. The man whose possessive touch ignites a long-lost part of me.

Because when the lies unfold, he’ll discover I have a list of sins and secrets of my own.

What an adventure this book is, a cartel, ememies to lovers story full of twists and turns, the sweetest litte girl and chemistry sizzling off the pages.
Lola had done so much to find herself the past few years, after escaping the man who did nothing but beat her down mentally and physically. When she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, she is thrown right back into the middle of that horrible world she tried to hard to steer clear of. The difference this time is she has sharpened her arsenal and is not backing down and giving in easy. She has worked too hard for that. What she finds in the depths of this Narco is not at all what she expected.
Santiago is at the top of his empire and takes as he sees fit to keep himself there. But he wasn't always on the top of anything and that once little boy doing everything possible to survive still lives deep inside. His heart is bigger than he wan't anyone to know. His "daughter" is living proof of that, though she comes with her how set of challenges. Following his gut, he lets Lola live when he would normally have just too out the loose end. He never imagined he would be falling for this woman and doing everything he could to keep her safe.
Though I did enjoy the book, I did feel like it was a little slow and lengthy. I found myself thinking I was never going to get to the end at times. The passion and determination, the hidden love and emotions the author is able to bring to the table does make the slower pace worth while.
