CUT DEEP (en Inglés) - Alina Smith

Loyalty is rare. Love is deadly.

Zara Cole built Crowned Hair Studio with her own money, her own rules, and one hard boundary: stay far away from the world that ruined her family.

Then her brother is shot.

Forced to chase answers through old blood, street politics, and buried debts, Zara finds herself face-to-face with Caiden Holt, a calm, dangerous man tied to the worst night of her childhood. He is the one man she should never trust, never want, and never let close.

But Dre's shooting was not random. Someone set him up, and the deeper Zara and Caiden dig, the clearer it becomes that this goes far beyond one bad deal or one corner gone wrong.

Now Zara is trapped between loyalty and survival, truth and desire, and a man who could protect everything she built or destroy it.

CUT DEEP is a dark urban romance about dangerous attraction, family debt, betrayal, and the cost of loving the wrong person in a world where trust gets people killed.
