For Saints and Outlaws (The Trauma Bonded Series #3) by Landyn Hill:
 
“Every villain has a story. Mine was written in flesh. His was written in blood.”
 
Valentina Reyes
 
Twenty years ago, I sold my soul to the devil to protect my family's legacy—an act that garnered no understanding and no appreciation. But when that legacy is ripped out from beneath me by my own brother, I find myself in a much darker place than I ever thought possible: the small, dusty, nowhere town of Moztecha, Texas. I know hell, and this is it. My entire life, I’ve built a wall of ice around my abused heart to protect against the one thing that could destroy me: myself. As I navigate this new life, trading my heels for boots, I’ll have to rely on the knight who’s always shielded me and an unlikely friend made of spirit and sunshine. As my icy wall begins to crack, I’m forced to confront the turbulent sea of my traumatic past, but that’s not the only thing lurking in the depths. When a shadow tries to put a bullet through my heart, I’m forced to look outside the careful fortress I’ve built. There, I find a sinful smirk, and a Saint who just might be worth changing for.
 
Rafael Santos
 
I’m not Santos—not a saint, savior, or good guy.
 
I’m Rafael—a broken, beat down, lonely man with no family and no home to call my own. Why? Because she took everything from me. Months ago, Valentina Reyes set out on a path to destroy my family with a string of malicious, deadly acts. With the hollow screams of my brothers still ringing in my ears to avenge them, I only have one goal: destroy Valentina Reyes before she destroys me. Thankfully, I have an advantage—I’m a faceless man who’s far closer than she thinks. After she unwittingly hires me, I set out on a mission to destroy her life from the inside. But along the way, I find more than I bargained for…and maybe this Outlaw isn’t what everyone thinks. One thing’s for certain: I’ll never be the same—if I even make it off this ranch alive.
 
“It was better to become the villain than the victim, and now, it’s all I am.”
 
In a world where evil always wins, it’s impossible to know if Saints and Outlaws can coexist. To discover how strong they really are, Valentina and Rafael will have to test the bonds of trauma and see if what lies within is enough to break the ice.
