Prologue

"If I see you all alone next time I'll have no choice but to keep you."
Serena Delgado never imagined that a night of too many drinks would land her in the clutches of the very man who once held her heart-and now, possibly, her future.

Caught between a web of dangerous choices and past regrets, she's forced to turn to Detective Santiago Diaz, a man she hasn't seen in years. But this isn't the same determined cop she remembers; he's hardened, driven by a ruthless need for justice. And yet, when their worlds collide once more, the spark that once smoldered between them ignites into something neither can ignore.

Santiago has spent his life chasing criminals, determined to put the scum of the earth behind bars. But as the stakes rise, so do the feelings he thought were buried long ago. The woman sitting before him, now a fierce beauty with secrets of her own, pulls him deeper into a dangerous game-one where love might just be the ultimate crime.

Can two broken souls, bound by history and haunted by their own demons, finally find a way to forgive-and love? Or will their pasts tear them apart before they even have a chance?
