Sergio Quinn Ryder

A contract bathed in blood. A love forbidden from all angles. For years, Sergio Santoyo has walked around with a gigantic chip on his shoulder-one directly infected by his father's lethal corruption. At the age of thirteen, he was forced to make a difficult decision, choose two to live and one to die. That choice followed him through his dreams, creating vivid nightmares that still keep him up at night. He was bred from birth to shoot first and never ask questions. A man with nothing to lose, nothing to gain, and who always has the perfect aim. His reputation as his father's hired gun left him a target-one that a rival Cartel would take out without question if given the chance. But the target on his back meant nothing to him as long as the family was safe. His loyalty never wavered, at least not until his latest contract was slid under the door. Now Sergio has to decide what he cares about more . . . the love from a father that is the sole reason for his nightmares and blood-soaked hands, or the forbidden love he keeps hidden behind closed doors.
