THORNS AND ROSES: a bodyguard’s heart

He came for blood. He found her. Driven by vengeance, Miguel Rivera returns to the world that destroyed his family—disguised, calculated and ready to burn it all down. Under the alias Montez Vargas, he infiltrates the Navarro cartel, eventually becoming the personal bodyguard to Aria Navarro, the untouchable daughter of Emilio Navarro —the man he believed is behind the murder of his parents. The cartel’s boss daughter is nothing like Miguel imagined. Beautiful but feisty, guarded, rebellious with hidden agendas of her own, she awakens something in Miguel he thought was long dead. As lines blur and old wounds begin to open, Miguel is drawn into the world of power, betrayal and forbidden desire; there is more to his parents deaths that he had no clue about. And when the past resurfaces, his greatest threat may not be the man he came to kill—but the woman he was never supposed to love.
