She's the most dangerous woman in New Orleans.
He's the FBI agent sent to destroy her.
Linh Nguyen didn't become underboss by playing nice. At thirty-two, she commands a Vietnamese organized crime network through strategic brilliance and lethal precision. She protects her community from threats the law ignores—and she's very good at it.
Remy Broussard is undercover FBI with one mission: bring her down. Ex-Marine, fluent in Vietnamese, perfect cover story. He'll infiltrate her organization, gather evidence, and watch her fall.
Except nothing about Linh is what he expected.
She's not running drugs or trafficking—she's funding youth programs and stopping deportations. She's not ruthless—she's ruthlessly protective. And when Russian mobsters target her community with extreme violence, Remy faces an impossible choice.
Follow his oath or protect the woman who's redefining everything he thought he knew about justice.
Linh discovers his FBI identity within days. She could kill him. Instead, she offers a deal: help her take down the traffickers threatening her people, and she'll give him the biggest bust of his career.
Partnership. Intelligence sharing. Working together despite being enemies.
It should be simple. Professional. Strategic.
But attraction doesn't follow rules. And when bullets start flying, when seventeen trafficking victims need saving, when Linh throws herself in front of danger—Remy realizes he's not falling for a criminal.
He's falling for a guardian the system abandoned.
Can an FBI agent and a crime boss build something real? Or will their impossible love destroy everything they're trying to protect?
Genre: Romance
