At first glance, twenty-two-year-old Brianna's life seems perfect. But she harbors a deadly secret--her father is the leader of a ruthless drug cartel. Brianna struggles to find her place in a world her father meticulously controls, and believes she is nothing but a pawn in her father's deadly games.
After graduating from college with an enormous debt, Dominic finds himself lured by money and power into a job that appears too good to be true. He doesn't realize he works for a drug cartel until he s in too deep. Trying to keep his family safe, he takes a deal offered by Brianna's father and agrees to marry Brianna while continuing to work for the cartel.
Brianna and Dominic must rely on one another as their lives become further entwined in the lethal drug world. When Dominic discovers a deadly secret, he begins to question everything and turns to Brianna for support. However, Brianna's heart belongs to another man--an undercover DEA agent.
The DEA closes in on the drug cartel, forcing Brianna and Dominic to choose sides, igniting a battle between family loyalty, love, and survival. Brianna soon realizes that she may be the only person capable of bringing down her father's empire--if she can find a way to outsmart the master manipulator, without losing herself, and her heart, in the process.
