A witness trades evidence for safety with a rival crime lord.
Elena sees the Red Serpent commit murder and instantly tops their kill list. Adrian, head of a competing syndicate, snatches her from the ambush and offers shelter on one condition: she must hand over the incriminating proof that could destroy their mutual foe. Relentless assassins drive them into one tight corner after another, making survival depend on trusting the person who demanded her leverage. What began as a cold transaction shifts into affection neither anticipated.
