A dark second chance mafia romance

Love is the deadliest lie.

I had the picture-perfect life.
Then I fell for the boy my mother warned me about.
A lowlife. A criminal.
To me, he was just Matty. To the world, he was Mateo Cortes, a soulless killer for the Carrera Cartel.
We were the virgin and the villain. The debutante and the devil.
He swore we'd end in ruin. I swore love would conquer all.
I was wrong.
Running saved my life, but now a costly mistake has put it back on the line. Forced out of hiding, I'm given minutes to decide my fate: inmate or informer. The DEA plans to bring down the Carreras by infiltrating their ranks.
I'm the pawn.
Mateo is the target.
Four years ago, I started a war. Now I'm back to end it, and this time I won't run from the dark.
My devil will come for me.
And God help anyone who gets in his way.
