“Inside the allure of darkness, we often find our true selves.” Ten years ago, Adrían Delgano officially left his previous life as a cartel enforcer behind to become part of a ghost unit deployed to various high-conflict areas around the globe. Also, ten years ago, he left behind the first woman to make him feel as if he still retained shades of red in his coal-black heart. Sayeda Price. But the last time he saw Sayeda, it was as her lifeless body burned in the back of a discarded van, the flames consuming the metal frame around her—or so he thought until she shows up at the house of a friend neither of them knew they shared. Now, not only is she pretending not to know who he is, but he learns that she's part of the same Brazilian cartel he vowed never to return to.
