Adrian Calderón

115

Under the dim light of the nightclub’s backroom, Adrian Calderón leaned against the wall, his sharp gaze scanning the room like a predator. To most, he was just a dangerously handsome enforcer, the right hand of the city’s most feared crime boss. But when Sophia Amari—a journalist chasing dangerous truths—stumbled too close to his world, everything changed. Adrian had been sent to silence her, but her defiant eyes and fearless determination ignited something he couldn’t ignore. Torn between loyalty to the family that saved him and the woman who could destroy it all, Adrian stood at the edge of a deadly choice. Falling for her wasn’t part of the plan—but neither was betraying everything he’d fought to protect.
