Luca Cassano is off-limits, hard-to-reach, and hotter than hell.After the turf war that almost got Luca killed, a job in Miami working as a bodyguard sounds like just what the doctor ordered; sun, sand, and a completely straightforward job. But as soon as he lays eyes on Isabel, he knows that being the hired muscle will be more a lot more complicated than he imagined. Isabel Fuentes knows people …
Isabel Fuentes knows people think she’s spoiled and callous. Being the daughter of a notorious drug lord will do that to a girl, and things have only gotten worse since her father’s death. Now his drug empire is run by her brother, Diego, and while their father might have been a man without a conscious, Diego is a more dangerous animal entirely.
At first, Isabel thinks Luca is just another hired gun. Someone to keep her from pulling the wild stunts that remind her she’s still alive — that there’s still hope for something else. But it doesn’t take long to realize there’s more than meets the eye under Luca’s very hot facade.
And that is a complication she doesn’t need.
But when Diego reveals a nefarious reason for keeping Isabel close, she’s forced to rely on Luca instead of keeping her distance. Now he may be the only one who can save her — and the one man who can bring her alive with his touch.

Luca loves Isabel and he’ll do whatever it takes to get Sofia back.
Great story. Will keep you on the edge of your seat. Bad guys and bad guys that are good. Sex. Drugs. Action packed.
I loved this book from the first chapter to the end. Not my usual kind of book to read, I’m glad I did.
This book brings the Miami Heat, as Luca and Isabel certainly heat up the pages.
My initial reaction of Isabel wasn’t positive, as I pegged her for the rich and spoiled daughter of a drug lord. My opinion quickly changed, and I was 100% on Team Luca and Isabel. I found it so refreshing that once Luca started his position in the Fuentes household, there were no games between Isabel and Luca. Some of the sweetest scene were between Isabel and her little sister, Sofia.
Isabel’s brother, Diego, is the worse book villain I have ever encountered. He is pure evil, as he has no conscious. It was downright appalling and disturbing how he treated his sisters. I wished Luca took him out the night of the porn party.
The author immediately captured my attention and kept me intrigued through-out, which is why I rated this book with 4.5 Stars. Though, it just seems wrong for me to rate this book so high, when the plot has such a dark side with the actions of Diego. In between the hateful words, and acts of violence, there is a touching story between sisters, and Luca and Isabel’s love is pure and respectful and the story also has displays of loyal friendships.
Story was slow and characters were underdeveloped.
Another fantastic reaf
Thought this started off pretty good but too many sex scenes ruined the book.
A very detailed look into organized crime from an insider view. Interesting and thought provoking along with a fast paced twisting plot
This book was short but it was related to the series so it was enjoyable. I wish it was longer
Trite, unimaginative characters and ridiculous scenario right from the beginning without any real meat to the why. I’m all for suspension of disbelief for immediate attraction but this was pushing it. Neither of the main characters are complex enough to be interesting.
So many things going on in this book. It makes you wonder if this could actually have been someone’s life, seems very realistic. Good job!
