Summary

When loyalty is tested, trust becomes a weapon. Emilio Cruz doesn’t do vulnerability. As the reluctant heir to a bloodstained legacy, his world is built on secrets, precision, and danger. But when Jarmesha Woods—a woman running from her own fractured past—gets swept into the crossfire of a deal gone wrong, everything changes. She’s more than collateral. She’s the ghost of a life, someone needs buried. And she’s about to uncover the truth no one was meant to find. As the lines between protection and obsession blur, Emilio finds himself at war with his enemies, his past, and the man he swore he’d never become. But Jarmesha has her own scars and her own reasons to fight back. Together, they’ll have to navigate betrayal, hidden ties, and a slow-burning bond that could save them—or tear them apart. Slow-burn romance. Tension-soaked suspense. Brutal loyalty and fragile trust. For readers who crave emotional depth with their danger, Beneath the Steel will leave you breathless.
