The Bride He Chose

She was never part of the deal.
That's exactly why he chose her.

María Luna used to be untouchable—the spoiled princess of a powerful political dynasty. Now her family name is synonymous with scandal, her father is disgraced, and the press hunts her like blood in the water. Survival means keeping her head down and her pride intact.

She never planned on crossing paths with Ezekiel.

Known as Don Herrera, he rules Monterrey with cold precision. Ruthless, feared, and lethal, Ezekiel was born to command and destroy. To secure a crucial alliance, he needs a bride—one chosen for strategy, obedience, and silence.

María Luna is none of those things.

She challenges him. Defies him. Looks him in the eye when everyone else looks away. And the moment she does, the rules change.

Taken from her life and forced into the opulent prison of the Herrera mansion, María Luna is marked as his fiancée, watched at every turn, bound to a man who doesn't take no for an answer—and doesn't know how to love without control. As the walls close in, she realizes the true danger isn't the cartel world outside, but the way Ezekiel watches her, studies her fear, and hungers for her fire.

Because Ezekiel doesn't just want her obedience.
He wants to break her… and keep her.
