Revenge and love defy any marriage contract.

Cartel princess Carlota Lozano has spent years living under a man's rules. Married off to a ruthless capo, she plays the trophy wife when the world is watching, a polished lie her unfaithful husband demands. After he sends their twin sons away to boarding school, the careful mask she's built begins to fracture. Then she meets her new bodyguard?the dark, irresistible man she'd drunkenly kissed at a party?and melts under his expert touch.

Tajo Aguilar wants to destroy his half-brother, the man who stole his future and now holds Carlota as his wife. She was supposed to be his leverage, nothing more. Yet she ignites in him a desire he can't control, twisting his vengeance into something far more dangerous.

When her husband uncovers their affair, Carlota and Tajo must risk everything for a love destined to destroy them.
