Torn between a past that scorched her soul and a future wrapped in secrets, can Mariana escape the shadows that haunt her -- or will her deadly attraction lead to a fatal conclusion?

Mariana
Eight years ago, Dante disappeared -- leaving me with a shattered heart and a backpack full of blood money.
Since then, I've numbed the ache with booze and bad decisions.
But the night I crash a secret Day of the Dead party, everything changes.
Masked faces. Forbidden whispers. Power and danger hidden behind Catrina smiles.

And then I see him -- the man in the Catrín costume.
The attraction is instant.
His voice, his presence, the way he looks at me like he already knows what I taste like in the dark... He's dangerous. But I can't walk away.

Mateo
I came here to uncover the truth, not fall into lust with a woman who could burn my entire mission to the ground.
She's bold. Intoxicating. Too close to the fire.

Getting involved with her could expose everything.
But I've never been one to resist temptation --
and she's the kind of sin a man gladly burns for.

Dante
I left to save her.
But I never stopped wanting her.

Watching her flirt with danger -- and with him -- drives me mad.
I'd kill to keep her safe.
And I just might kill to keep her mine.

I tried to do the right thing once.
I won't make that mistake again.

Old scars. New secrets. Forbidden heat.
As Mariana is torn between the man who broke her and the stranger who sees too much, one truth becomes clear:

In a world where loyalty means nothing and love could be lethal,
the night will end in blood.
