Description
The Diamond family’s Cartel controls most of Miami’s cocaine trade, turning its name into a source of wealth, authority, and fear. When gangster Carter Diamond dies, his illegitimate son, Carter Jones, is pulled toward a criminal inheritance he did not build. On the opposing side stands Miamor, leader of the contract-killing Murder Mamas. After losing her sister during an operation against the Cartel, she commits herself to revenge. Neither Miamor nor Carter recognizes the other’s place in the conflict when attraction develops between them, making intimacy another hidden danger in an already violent struggle. This urban crime drama binds family succession, vengeance, and romance together as two people seek connection while the organizations around them demand loyalty and blood.
