Synopsis:
A contract bathed in blood.
A love forbidden from all angles.
For years, Sergio Santoyo has walked around with a gigantic chip on his shoulder—one directly infected by his father’s lethal corruption.
At the age of thirteen, he was forced to make a difficult decision, choose two to live and one to die. That choice followed him through his dreams, creating vivid nightmares that still keep him up at night.
He was bred from birth to shoot first and never ask questions. A man with nothing to lose, nothing to gain, and who always has the perfect aim. His reputation as his father’s hired gun left him a target—one that a rival Cartel would take out without question if given the chance.
But the target on his back meant nothing to him as long as the family was safe. His loyalty never wavered, at least not until his latest contract was slid under the door. Now Sergio has to decide what he cares about more . . . the love from a father that is the sole reason for his nightmares and blood-soaked hands, or the forbidden love he keeps hidden behind closed doors.
Synopsis:
I’ve been in love with Esmeralda Barrio, since my father brought her home sixteen years ago, bruised, broken, and empty. For the last sixteen years I’ve watched her change from the beautiful girl I fell in love with, to the cold-hearted woman I no longer recognize. Living under my father’s rule had hardened her, and now she’s just as bad as he is, treating others with the cruelty that was once shown to her.
I never expected to be next in line to take over the familia, but now that my brother is on the lam and in bed with our enemy, I have no choice but to step into the role that was meant for him. That role came with a prize I never expected—Esmeralda. Now she’s mine to own, something I had wished for since I was a young boy when I watched her love everyone in my family but me.
Falling in love with the woman covered in scars was incredibly easy for me but getting her to love me back has proven to be the most difficult task I’ve ever had to face. Now that I know the truth behind our union, I’m determined to save her from herself before it’s too late. She has something my father wants, and if I don’t stop him, I might just lose her forever. I’ve always been the one to runaway from danger, but now that I own Esmeralda’s hand, I’ll do anything to protect her, even if it means giving up my own life for hers.
Synopsis:
I’ve always known I was different. I’ve felt it since the day I was born.
My father hated me, and in return I hated him, resenting my two older brothers that he seemed to love more than me. It’s why I started my own business, something of my own outside of the Santoyo Cartel. What I didn’t anticipate were the secrets that would come out after one of my brothers disappeared and betrayed the family, and the other fell in love with my father’s side piece.
​
Their betrayal sent my father down a vicious spiral, one that got one of their women caught in the crosswind. Now her life lays in my hands because I’m the only one that can save her—the only one who can get my father’s worst enemy to fight alongside us and end his reign of terror once and for all.
​
Saving her won’t be easy, especially after meeting Jóhanna, the crazy Icelandic girl with a bug fetish that is hell bent on torturing me until she gets the information out of me that she wants. Now, not only am I fighting the burning attraction I have for my hot captor, but I’m also running out of time. If I don’t get to that meeting I set up, everything will fall apart, and it may be the end of the Santoyo Brothers for good.
