I was born into blood.

Son of a cartel king. Raised to be ruthless. Trained to destroy.
And I did… until it nearly destroyed me first.

When I wake from a coma, I want out.
Out of the violence. Out of the legacy. Out of the man I used to be.

Then she kidnaps me.

Selena. My enemy’s weapon. A woman who kills for the cartel that wants me dead.
She should hate me—but she still needs me.

Now we’re on the run from two cartels that stop at nothing to see us gone, forced together across borders and hunted through a world built on blood and power. Every step toward freedom pulls us deeper into danger… and into a truth neither of us is ready for.

Missing children. A fractured past. And memories I can’t fully trust that may hold the key to everything.

She thinks I’m dangerous. She has no idea how right she is.

But I’ll burn every empire that made me if it means becoming something different—for her, for the children… for redemption.

Even if it destroys me.

The Castillian is Book One in The Dark Heroes Trilogy—a standalone mafia romance featuring enemies to lovers, kidnapped by the enemy, forced proximity, on the run, morally grey hero, and an assassin heroine who refuses to choose sides.

Two enemies. One mission.
And a love that could either destroy them… or be the only thing strong enough to save them.
