Luca Cassano is off-limits, hard-to-reach, and hotter than hell.
After the turf war that almost got Luca killed, a job in Miami working as a bodyguard sounds like just what the doctor ordered; sun, sand, and a completely straightforward job.
But as soon as he lays eyes on Isabel, he knows that being the hired muscle will be more a lot more complicated than he imagined.
Isabel Fuentes knows people think shes spoiled and callous. Being the daughter of a notorious drug lord will do that to a girl, and things have only gotten worse since her fathers death. Now his drug empire is run by her brother, Diego, and while their father might have been a man without a conscious, Diego is a more dangerous animal entirely.
At first, Isabel thinks Luca is just another hired gun. Someone to keep her from pulling the wild stunts that remind her shes still alive that theres still hope for something else. But it doesnt take long to realize theres more than meets the eye under Lucas very hot facade.
And that is a complication she doesnt need.
But when Diego reveals a nefarious reason for keeping Isabel close, shes forced to rely on Luca instead of keeping her distance. Now he may be the only one who can save her and the one man who can bring her alive with his touch.
