There was a fine line between love and hate, we walked it together.
Unforgiving.
Relentless.

When your family is as much a friend as an enemy, there is no one to trust.

This is book one in the Almanza Crime Family Duet. This is a dark, edge of your seat romantic suspense novel featuring an antihero, so there is a level of violence inside that may not be suitable for some readers. This is not meant to be an actual depiction of life inside a Cartel but rather a work of fiction meant to entertain.
