Skeletons of Society by Marie Maravilla (Toxic Paradise #1)

To survive in the Los Muertos, you have to stay useful. Especially if you’re a woman.

I made sure I couldn’t be replaced. Now they whisper my name in the shadows—La Brujita de Los Muertos—the kingpin’s right hand. They raised me, saved me, and I repay that debt with loyalty soaked in blood. It’s why I've earned the right to run everything in Tucson. Including our newest business deal with the Skeletons of Society MC… too bad that comes with being forced to work alongside the broody, infuriating Sergeant at Arms.

A partner I never asked for. Never wanted.
Yet Gunner doesn’t flinch at my darkness, he fuels it. And against my better judgment, I find myself falling for the man who makes me believe someone could love my sharp edges.

But I forgot that lies and deceit are the lifeblood of this toxic paradise and there are plays being made in the shadows.

In the end, my hands were always destined to be drenched in the blood of guilty men.
