To pay off her mother's debts, Isabella is forced to become the "debt-collateral canary" of Diego, the cartel arms godfather. Through five years of gunfire and blood by his side, she believes the cold-blooded tyrant has truly fallen for her. But when his well-matched weapons-heiress first love returns, Diego not only casts her aside like a worn-out shoe — to indulge his new lover, he throws her late mother's keepsake into a vat of acid and locks her in a freezing water dungeon! Escaping with her life, Isabella is utterly dead inside. She smashes the shackles off her ankles, flees to Miami to begin a new life as a nurse, and meets the love of her life. When Diego finally realizes he has loved her to the marrow, slaughters his enemies like a madman, and kneels with boundless wealth begging her forgiveness — all he sees is her walking toward someone else's wedding. The once-untouchable Mafia tyrant can only watch in despair as the woman he loves marries another man! A crystal-clear-eyed female lead, a veteran-level crematorium for the scumbag, a revenge novel of absolute refusal to forgive!
