Description

“Your mother’s opiates are coming from Jose Herrera’s distribution network.” My pulse races as my stepfather speaks these words. Because taking on the Herreras also means taking on Diego. Reckless, and hardened by a volatile past, Victoria does not see a future with Diego Herrera as a realistic option. As their childhood friendship ignites, they find themselves on opposite sides of a bloody feud between the two most powerful families in Mexico City. And she’s a Moreno now—brought up to be the secret weapon nobody suspected. But Victoria can’t deny the attraction. Diego’s commanding muscles, the coarse, dark hair of his solid chest, that rugged scar above his lips… Loyalty is in the eye of the beholder.

Advance Praise

Hard Trigger is not your ordinary romance. Far, far from it.

Centered around the Mexican drug trade, it tells the story of Victoria, a woman who has chosen to enter the dangerous world of her stepfather's drug business. When she discovers her father was murdered by a childhood friend's uncle, head of a rival family's drug cartel, she does everything she can to get her vengeance, even when that vengeance could cost her the only man she's ever loved.

It's a very violent and graphic book, about a very violent and unforgiving business that ravages everyone who enters it's path. There are no knights on white horses or shining Navy SEALS here and the HEA many or may not be happy. Victoria is a once naive girl who learns terrible secrets about her family, her childhood friend Diego's family, and her stepfather's family. Those secrets drive her to terrible acts. Her single minded desire for revenge could cost her everything she loves, wants, and needs, including her life. That theme drives the story to it's ending and keeps the reader guessing as to what will happen next.

The romance part is well done. Victoria and Diego at first seem like ships that are thrown into the same storm, spending short bursts of time together only to be pulled apart and a wall of hate built between them. Despite all the powers that try to tear them apart, they keep finding ways to be together and their feeling don't change.

This is not a book to read for a pleasant afternoon at the beach. It's violent, blunt, and could hit home with some people. But it's also one of best written independently published romance novels I've read in years. S.L. Hannah is a storyteller, and she's telling a hell of a story here.
