A tarnished princess in need of protection.

With the death of her brother, Ariana Ortega is untouchable no more.
Alone and abandoned, a vengeful cartel is coming after her.
A marriage of convenience is her best chance of survival and she has two choices.
One would send her back into a world she despises, and the other would tie her to the man who betrayed her.

An ex-bodyguard determined to keep her alive at all cost.

As a CIA operative, Migs Alcantara Walker avoids relationships like the plague.
But when Ariana's life is put in jeopardy, he is desperate to give her the safety only his name can provide.
Even if it means facing the demons from his past.

Armed with his secret arsenal of five adoring sisters, doting parents, and his spitfire of a grandmother, Migs aims to wrap Ariana in the warmth of a family she's never had before.

But Ariana's experience has taught her family never lasts.
They die a brutal death.
And when the cartel's shadow falls on the Alcantara-Walker doorstep, Ariana faces two choices once more.
Leave and accept her deadly fate, or stay and fight for the promise of a home she secretly yearns for.
