She laundered millions for her family's cartel. He's the undercover agent sent to take her down. Neither expected to fall in love.
Dulce Reyes is brilliant, curvy, and complicit in crimes that keep her awake at night.
For three years, she's hidden blood money through her fashion boutique—trapped by her father's dying wish and too afraid to escape. She's the smart sister, the accountant, the one who keeps the family's darkest secrets balanced to the penny.
Then Santiago Vega walks into her life with a camera and a devastating smile.
He claims he's a fashion photographer. She knows he's investigating her. The chemistry between them is undeniable. The lies they're both telling? Equally dangerous.
When he photographs her modeling her own designs—curves celebrated, confidence radiating—she feels seen for the first time in years. When he kisses her in the boutique after hours, she knows she's falling for the one man who could destroy everything.
He should arrest her. She should run. Instead, they make a deal that could either set her free or send her to prison.
But her uncle has other plans. And in her family, betrayal comes with a body count.
Can a money launderer and the agent investigating her build something real from lies? Or will choosing love mean losing everything—including each other?
A steamy standalone romantic suspense featuring a plus-size fashion designer heroine, a Mexican Federale hero, and proof that the smartest thing isn't playing dumb—it's playing for keeps.
