Isabella Romano has everything—wealth, power, and a prestigious legal practice. But she's also trapped by family obligations that could destroy everything she's worked to build.
When she meets Carlos Mendoza, the brilliant strategist behind America's most successful cannabis empire, the attraction is immediate and dangerous. He represents everything her crime family opposes: legitimate business, honest success, and the kind of man who could make her question a lifetime of loyalty.
Carlos knows Isabella is hiding something. Her connections run too deep, her knowledge too comprehensive, her European networks too powerful for a simple attorney. But when Romano family pressure threatens his family's transition from cartel to legitimate enterprise, he realizes Isabella isn't just his consultant—she's his salvation.
Choosing love means Isabella must betray the only family she's ever known. Choosing her means Carlos must protect a woman whose secrets could destroy them both.
From Amsterdam's cannabis conferences to Barcelona's ancient cathedrals, from Swiss banks to Italian villas, their passion ignites an international war between criminal heritage and legitimate dreams.
Some families are born into. Others are chosen. But when choosing love requires destroying the past, can their connection survive the consequences?
Will Isabella find the courage to sacrifice everything for a future that exists only in Carlos's arms?
