Synopsis
A good girl breaks out of her shell and grapples with how far she's willing to go to keep the love of her life--even if he happens to be the scariest drug lord in the city... Matias Rojas lost a lot, but nothing cuts like losing the only woman he’s ever loved. For years, the drug lord watched her from afar. Makes sure no one disturbs the normal, mundane existence she’s created, far away from their world of violence. To the rest of Los Angeles, he’s a boogeyman. A nightmare come to life, claiming deals in loyalty and blood. But in the dark, he always seeks her out. Natalia is used to keeping everyone’s secrets. Especially her own. As the youngest daughter of Los Angeles’ most powerful drug lord, she was used to a life of rules. A people-pleasing sister who lived to hold her dysfunctional family together. Until a secret love affair with Matias shattered it all. The world has moved on--but she hasn’t. Foolish as it sounds, she sees traces of him everywhere. Feels his presence every time she closes her eyes. But When the FBI corners her with an ultimatum, Natalia must decided whether to betray the man who broke her heart or protect the man she fell in love with. And although their relationship is over...the simmering fire between them isn't.
