Watch Dog

A dark crime romance with hacker intrigue, cartel heat, and a simmering, friends-to-lovers slow burn that finally explodes.

Maria Sandoval is the only daughter of a powerful cartel family-and the breakout author of a viral alien Regency romance series (tentacle sex, anyone?). All she wants is to prove herself at MAVFest, Austin's biggest media and publishing festival. But when her schedule starts glitching-sabotaged events, creepy gifts, a stalker who sends messages that hit way too close to home-she's forced to rely on the one man who drives her absolutely insane.

Fidel Cedillo: hacker, bodyguard, childhood best friend. He's spent years following orders, keeping his distance, pretending not to want her. But Maria knows better now. She sees the heat in his gaze, the want in his touch. And if he thinks he can keep control, he's got another thing coming. She's on a mission to ruin him-one leather mini-skirt at a time.

As enemies close in and truths come to light, Maria and Fidel navigate cartel politics, tech warfare, and their own dangerous attraction. Because keeping her safe is no longer just a job for Fidel.

It's the one thing he can't afford to fail.
