Layla's Future

From the streets of Rio to the depths of the jungle, love has never been more lethal.

For as long as I can remember, I've been a shadow skulking through the grandeur of stolen art, my fingers deft and my wits sharper than any blade. The sisterhood I forged from the ashes of urban despair is my family, my cartel-the "Mulheres do Destino" (Women of Destiny). We are the Amazons of Rio, hunted by immortals and humans because of our unique mark. Yet, nothing prepared me for the icy dread that unearthed itself the night I dared to break into what I thought was an empty mansion.

​I should have known better, should have felt the unsettling stillness, the weight of concealed malevolence in the air. Instead, I danced with danger, as only a seasoned thief could, until I locked eyes with the crazed immortal-a vampire dripping with hunger and madness, his eyes as bright as the most brilliant ruby.

That single wicked taste ignites an obsessive hunt. I can feel his presence, his insidious intent burrowing through the dense walls of my city and my secret hideaway, closer with each passing moment. There's more at stake than merely my life-my cartel, my girls, the women who rely on my cunning to remain hidden from the insidious reach of immortals and the U.S. government.

​Captured and dragged into his secluded domain deep in the Amazon jungle, I am ensnared in his world of ancient darkness and primal desire. My heart, a traitorous rhythm, pounds not only with fear, but with an inexplicable yearning. Each moment spent in his grasp, each brush of his touch, blurs the line between loathing and longing.

​Can I outmaneuver this ancient predator, the immortals hunting us for their own selfish needs, or the U.S. government hell-bent on destroying us to protect my girls and reclaim my freedom? Or will my unraveling heart and betraying body succumb to his dark, delicious desires, binding me to him forever in this untamed jungle's embrace?

​The battle for survival is no longer just a test of wits, but a perilous journey through the abyss of my own soul.
