I spent my career pulling people out of his pipeline. Then he pulled me into his underworld.
Rafael Lujan controls the border. Every tunnel, every crossing, every body that moves through his territory. He sent men to warn me to stop interfering. I didn't stop.
So he came himself. Dragged me out of my clinic at dawn and locked me away in his compound. He calls me leverage. Tells his men I'm strategy. But leverage doesn't get the room next to his. Strategy doesn't explain why he shows up every night I can't sleep.
The cartel wants me dead. The feds want me extracted. He's not giving me to either.
He says I can go home when the danger passes. But kings don't return what they've claimed.
Tropes: cartel king × captive heroine • enemies to lovers • only soft for her • forced proximity • fairytale retelling
Genre: Romantic Suspense
