Deadly Rose

Rose
My father didn't want me to be a part of this life. Little does he know, I didn't have a choice. That choice was taken away from me when I was a child and watched a man from a rival cartel rape and brutally murder my mother. The heart and soul of our family.
Since that night, I've done everything in my power to make grown men shrivel in fear when they whisper my name.
La Madrina (The Godmother)
I'm a dangerous, cold and calculated woman with a business to run. I know who will follow me until the end and know who to cut loose when they no longer serve a purpose. My life has been filled with hatred, blood and vengeance. That is until my father sent him to be my bodyguard.
Jax Bishop. He brings me alive with every breath he takes, every gaze sent my way. I don't want these feelings, but he's not giving me a choice.

Jax
Franco Valdez brought me into his world to protect his daughter, Rose. With no family and a twin brother thousands of miles away, Franco's words are like a beacon in the dark world I live in. Rose, even though she's ruthless and calculated, pulls me back from the edge every time I want to jump. I will destroy this beautiful woman but I'm too selfish to let her go.

Will Jax and Rose drown in the darkness of lies and deceit or will they come out on top with everything to lose and nothing left to hide?

Message to the reader,
Jax and Rose were first introduced in Torch's Torment (my Royal Bastards MC, book 4) but you do not have to read that story to follow this one. This is a prelude into Jax and Rose before Torch's Torment.
