Xander (All Guts, No Glory #6)

He infiltrated the cartel for revenge. Falling for the enemy’s sister was never part of the plan.

Xander Hawke has one mission—destroy the cartel king who murdered his little sister. To get close enough to take the man down, he does the unthinkable…and lets himself be captured.

But his plan goes sideways.

Locked in a prison deep in the lawless jungles of Tierra Caliente, Xander’s chances of survival fade—until a beautiful stranger appears with a dangerous offer.

Estrella Barrera is desperate to escape her brother’s brutal empire before he marries her off to a sadistic drug lord to seal a deadly alliance. Her only hope is the lethal prisoner everyone fears.

If she helps him escape, Xander agrees to escort her to safety.

What starts as a desperate partnership quickly ignites into something far more dangerous. While being hunted through cartel territory, their simmering attraction explodes into a passion neither can resist. For the first time in years, vengeance isn’t the only thing driving Xander.

Until he learns the truth.

Essie isn’t just the woman stealing his heart.

She’s the sister of the man he came to destroy.

Now Xander must choose—
finish the war and get his revenge…
or protect the woman who might be his only salvation.
