He knows how to make people disappear. He just never meant to lose himself. Ángel Solís learned young how to survive in violent worlds. The cartel taught him how to kill without flinching. Moving dark money taught him how to navigate the shadows of the internet. And what he found there - the things men pay to do when they think no one is watching - showed him a world he couldn't unsee. So he did something about it. Now Ángel hunts predators the system can't touch. Quietly. Efficiently. Permanently. No spotlight. No mercy. No mistakes. Until Ruby. She's just a waitress in a desert town. Too young. Too tired. Carrying secrets in the tight way she holds her shoulders. It was supposed to be one night. A motel. A distraction. But Ángel has spent his life reading monsters. And Ruby looks like prey that survived something she shouldn't have. When he realizes one of the men he already buried was her abuser, he expects fear. Instead, she asks him to teach her. Because Ruby isn't looking to be saved. She's looking to never be helpless again. Now they're on the road together - motel to motel, city to city - chasing the worst men in America... and Ángel is discovering something far more dangerous than his enemies: He's becoming obsessed. He's ruthless with everyone else. But with Ruby? He's protective. Possessive. Terrifyingly soft. And when the past that made her starts hunting them back, Ángel will burn down the world before he lets it take her. Even if loving her is the one thing that can finally destroy him.
