Prayer for the Wicked

Six names. One blade.

Zoe Marin spent eight years as a military operative learning how to disappear. Now she's back in San Diego with a kill list and a ceramic blade, hunting the cartel that murdered her sister. Camila, the artist, the girl who painted sunrises she'd never finish.

Mateo Reyes is the son his father can't afford to lose. Brilliant, dangerous in ways he's trying not to be, he's been tasked with finding whoever is gutting the family empire one body at a time.

He's not supposed to want her. He's supposed to find her. And kill her.

She knows who he is. He knows who she is. Neither says it. Because saying it would mean stopping, and stopping is the one thing their bodies won't do.

His father's is at the top of her list. And every night she spends memorizing the scars on Mateo's skin is a night she isn't finishing what she came home to do.

Something is going to give. The blade or the man. The mission or the mouth she can still taste at 3 a.m.

She already knows which one she'll choose.
