Description: 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?

After witnessing the murder of a homeless man by two gang members, Maddie receives protection from a rival gang and their passionate leader. The plot contains profanity, sexual references, graphic violence, alcohol use, and gang activity.
