About the book

From Allison van Diepen, author of Light of Day, Snitch, and Street Pharm, comes a sexy, dangerous novel—perfect for fans of Simone Elkeles and Paul Griffin—about a teen who witnesses a murder and gets caught up in the seedy world of Miami's gangs.

Maddie Diaz never should have taken that shortcut through the park. If she hadn't, she wouldn't have seen two members of the Reyes gang attacking a homeless man. Now, as the only witness, she knows there's a target on her back.

But when the Reyes jump her on the street, Maddie is protected by a second gang and their secretive leader, Lobo, who is determined to take down the Reyes himself. Lobo is mysterious and passionate, and Maddie begins to fall for him. But when they live this close to the edge, can their love survive?


  • Bad Boy Romance: Lobo is the secretive leader of a street gang, and he’s everything Maddie should stay away from. But she can’t resist the passion she sees in the most dangerous boy in Miami.
  • Protector Romance: When the ruthless Reyes gang puts a target on her back, Lobo is the only one who can keep Maddie safe. But relying on him puts her heart in just as much danger.
  • Witness Protection: After seeing something she shouldn’t, Maddie becomes the only person who can testify against a brutal gang. Now she’s caught in a turf war with her life on the line.
  • Gang Romance: Set in the gritty, high-stakes world of Miami’s criminal underground, this is a love story where every choice could be the last.
