I survived Dante once.
Barely.

Eight years ago, he disappeared—leaving me with a shattered heart, a body that still remembers his touch, and a backpack full of blood money that ruined my life.

Since then, I’ve tried to drown the past in bad choices and worse nights.

It almost works.

Until the night I walk into a secret Day of the Dead party and everything fractures.

Masked faces.
Forbidden whispers.
Power hidden behind painted smiles and silk gloves.

And then I see him.

A stranger in a Catrín mask who watches me like he already knows my secrets—and wants them anyway.

I know better than to trust men who live in shadows.
I know what obsession costs.

But desire has a way of pulling you back into the dark.

As old wounds rip open and new dangers close in, I’m forced to choose between the man who once broke me and the man who could destroy everything if he uncovers the truth.

Because in this world, loyalty is a lie.
Love is a weapon.
And the night always ends in blood.
