Publisher's Synopsis
I'm used to getting my hands dirty. During the day it's mud and grime on the construction site. At night...it's the blood I spill.A drug lord's enforcer does what needs to be done. It's my obedience, my loyalty to the boss that keeps my family alive. I know I'm teetering on the edge. I'm losing my humanity, I can feel it. It's changing me, and it's only a matter of time before the darkness takes over.Then I meet her. Liv. The only person who sees past my busted knuckles and brutal exterior. She sees...me. But being with me will get her killed. The only way I can keep her safe is by staying away. Until her own actions catapult her into the center of my world-a world which will swallow her whole. Now I'm forced to be the ruthless bastard I've been for so long. Only this time it's not to destroy...but to defend.
