Mafia princess Maria Delgado has spent years proving herself as her father’s most ruthless and capable heir. She’s fought, bled, and sacrificed to earn her place at the top. But when her father names her incompetent older brother as his successor—and worse, decides to marry her off to their sworn enemy, Edgar Navarrete—Maria is livid. Betrayed. She won’t be handed over like a bargaining chip. Not without a fight. Maria has no doubt—the Navarrete family murdered her mother. She’s convinced her father is working to bring them down from within, but she won’t wait for justice. Disguised as the perfect fiancée, she embeds herself in their world, moving to San Diego with one goal: vengeance. But Maria isn’t the only one playing a deadly game. Edgar has his own score to settle, and she’s about to walk straight into his trap. Edger has spent years watching the Delgado family, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. His sister’s murder demands vengeance, and Maria Delgado—the heart of the family—is his way in. His plan is simple: make her fall hard, break her, and then destroy everything she holds dear. But Maria isn’t so easily swayed. She sees the danger behind Edger’s charm and senses the storm in his eyes. She fights to resist him, but his persistence is relentless. And as Edger plays his game, something shifts—his hunger for revenge tangles with a desire he never expected. As Maria tries to ignore Edger’s advances, and Edger attempts to bury his growing feelings for her, the pair's undeniable chemistry soon lands them in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game caught between love lust and revenge
