Mateo by Quinn Ryder

I’ve always known I was different. I’ve felt it since the day I was born.

My father hated me, and in return I hated him, resenting my two older brothers that he seemed to love more than me. It’s why I started my own business, something of my own outside of the Santoyo Cartel. What I didn’t anticipate were the secrets that would come out after one of my brothers disappeared and betrayed the family, and the other fell in love with my father’s side piece.

Their betrayal sent my father down a vicious spiral, one that got one of their women caught in the crosswind. Now her life lays in my hands because I’m the only one that can save her—the only one who can get my father’s worst enemy to fight alongside us and end his reign of terror once and for all.

Saving her won’t be easy, especially after meeting Jóhanna, the crazy Icelandic girl with a bug fetish that is hell bent on torturing me until she gets the information out of me that she wants. Now, not only am I fighting the burning attraction I have for my hot captor, but I’m also running out of time. If I don’t get to that meeting I set up, everything will fall apart, and it may be the end of the Santoyo Brothers for good
