All we had to do was make it through the weekend. It should’ve been a breeze. A tattoo convention in Cancún with Toni Valentine, the toughest and sexiest tattoo artist in the world? It was a dream come true.

It was my chance to show her how I’d grown. I came to work for her when I was just some kid from LA and she already had a spread in Maxim and a successful video stream, but over the past three years, we’ve gotten close. And I had plans for us to get even closer.

But now my plans have changed. Now I’ve got to prove myself in a different way—by saving her from one of Mexico’s most brutal cartels.

I’d do anything for Toni, and that includes walking right into the belly of the beast. And I’m not coming back without her.
