He might call Plumeria his, but he's wrong. She's mine and I'm willing to fight to prove it. I'm willing to kill. Knox. I knew she'd be mine from the first moment I saw her tending bar in the fighting pits I own with my brothers. Mer. Sexy Latina with a punch almost as mean as mine and a mouth even meaner. She's the cartel's prize and she's wanted by a Russian mercenary. When he comes for her, I'm prepared to be the shield she needs, even if she'd never admit it. Even if it brings the mafia and the cartel down on my head and drags me and my brothers into their war. Mer. Fists up. Head down. Stay alive. Wedged between my father's cartel and the Russian mafia, that's all I've ever had time for. There's no such thing as dating or relationships or emotions in the cartel...but Knox is a fighter. I knew that when I met him in the ring.
