Detective Rafael Cross volunteered for the most dangerous undercover assignment of his career: infiltrate the Valente crime family, get close to underboss Tony Valente, and gather the evidence to bring them all down.
Simple. Professional. Justice served.
What he didn't expect? Tony Valente is nothing like the monster in his case files.
Brilliant, yes. Dangerous, absolutely. But also fiercely protective of his family, surprisingly honorable within his own brutal code, and exactly the kind of man Rafe would want watching his back in a fight.
The kind of man who makes you question everything you believe about right and wrong.
Three months undercover. Three months of gaining Tony's trust, learning his routines, becoming someone he relies on. Three months of falling for the man he's supposed to destroy.
But when the FBI demands results and Tony's enemies close in from all sides, Rafe faces an impossible choice: complete his mission and watch the man he loves burn, or blow his cover and become a target himself.
Some betrayals cut deeper than bullets. Others are worth dying for.
In a world where loyalty is everything and love is the ultimate betrayal, two men will discover that some oaths can't be broken—even when keeping them might destroy everything they've built.
Second in the Blood Oath Bargains series. Each book is a complete story, but the Valente family's secrets run deeper with every page.
Genre: Gay Romance
