I was never supposed to fall in love with the enemy. For two years, I’ve lived inside the Rodriguez empire under a stolen name. To Maria Rodriguez, I’m her best friend. To the world, I’m just another elite athlete with a bright future. But in truth? I’m the daughter of the man who wants her family destroyed. My mission was simple: gain their trust, gather information, and walk away when war begins. Then I met him. Diablo Rodriguez — heir to the empire, six feet of cold authority and lethal charm. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t forgive. And he doesn’t fall in love. Especially not with his sister’s best friend. What starts as dangerous tension turns into something darker — obsession, possession, a craving neither of us can control. Every stolen glance is a risk. Every secret touch feels like betrayal. And the more I fall for him, the more I betray the blood that runs through my veins. But here’s the cruelest twist of all: Diablo might have known who I was from the very beginning. When a brutal mafia war ignites and loyalties fracture, I’m forced to confront the truth about my father’s plan — and my place in it. Because I wasn’t sent to spy. I was sent to be sacrificed. Now love is no longer forbidden. It’s deadly. In a world ruled by power, revenge, and blood, we must decide: Do we protect our families… Or destroy them for each other? Because in this war, love doesn’t make you weak. It makes you a target.
