Winter has settled over New Haven, bringing with it a storm of new problems.

Don’s gone, and no matter how many fires we light, the mansion feels like a tomb. We’re supposed to be safe—Jackson assures us Naomi has fled to Mexico. But a cryptic message in the dead of night tells me otherwise.

Naomi Rodriguez is a viper, and I’ll do whatever it takes to hunt her down. Elio might try to escape the darkness, but we’re both drawn to a different kind of edge. Revenge burns in my blood—but so does he. I know he’d burn the world for me, for us. The question is, how much am I willing to sacrifice to catch the cartel queen and keep Elio safe? Will I end up paying with my life—or worse, with his?

My father is gone, my family shattered, my brother imprisoned, and my mother’s chaos is dragging me under.

I want out of this life—a clean break, a fresh start. Today, I’m meeting a long-lost relative, an estranged uncle who might just offer a way out. But Nica’s obsession with Naomi is relentless. Jackson and I have tried to steer her away, but she’s unstoppable—mind, body, and soul.

Every time I think I can escape the darkness, something pulls me back under, drowning me. I don’t know who’s lurking this time or what threats are coming for us, but one thing is certain—I’ll burn all of New Haven to the ground to protect the woman I love.
