She was born to escape. He was born to own it all. Vanessa Ortiz thought she had left behind her family's bloody legacy. Daughter of a former cartel soldier, she built a quiet life far from crime and pain. But everything changed the night she found her cousin dancing half-naked on the lap of a man with a Zetas tattoo and eyes full of death. When Pamela witnesses a murder committed by him, she shows up at Vanessa’s door—bloodied, trembling, whispering the name of a criminal—and Vanessa’s entire world begins to collapse. She knows she can’t save Pamela without dragging herself down too. Pamela is now a target of the Zeta Clan. And so is Vanessa. To protect the only family she has left, Vanessa is forced to approach the man she should fear the most: Michael Cárdenas—a man who is a murder, cold , captivating and lethal. Trapped in a world of threats, lies, and twisted desire, Vanessa must decide if she's willing to use her body as currency… or if she can take down the beast from within. Because in the mafia, dolls aren't made of porcelain. They're made of flesh. And sometimes, they learn how to bite. Content Warning This story is intended for mature audiences (18+).
