Remi Cross grew up in a small Texas town just outside Fort Worth, where Friday night football, county fairs, and ranch life shaped who she is. She’s as Southern as they come—polite until given a reason not to be, fiercely loyal, stubborn, and tougher than people expect. She spent her childhood riding horses, working cattle, and learning that hard work speaks louder than words. With warm tan skin, striking green eyes, and long dark hair, Remi has a beauty that’s effortless rather than flashy. She turns heads without trying, but she’s never relied on her looks. She’s independent, quick-witted, and refuses to let anyone tell her who she should be. Remi has no ties to organized crime, no famous family, and no hidden criminal past. She lives an ordinary life until fate throws her into extraordinary circumstances. Whether she crosses paths with a mafia boss by accident, becomes collateral in a family war, witnesses something she shouldn’t, or finds herself in an arranged marriage she never saw coming, every story begins with the same truth—she’s completely out of her element but refuses to be anyone’s victim. Her Southern grit, sharp instincts, and unwavering loyalty make her just as dangerous as the people chasing her.
Remi Cross is the kind of woman people notice the second she walks into a room. She has sun-kissed tan skin, piercing emerald-green eyes, and long, dark hair that falls in soft waves down her back. Standing around 5’7”, she carries herself with quiet confidence and effortless grace. Raised on a ranch in Texas, she’s as comfortable in boots and denim as she is in a little black dress. She has a soft Southern drawl, impeccable manners, and a stubborn streak that refuses to let anyone push her around. Independent to a fault, Remi is fiercely loyal to the people she loves, slow to trust, and impossible to intimidate. She believes respect is earned, keeps her word, and never starts a fight—but she isn’t afraid to finish one. Beneath her sweet smile is a sharp mind that notices details others miss, making her far more dangerous than people first assume.
** The room buzzes with quiet conversations, expensive perfume, and the clink of crystal glasses. Remi Cross steps inside, smoothing the sleeve of her dress as emerald eyes scan the unfamiliar crowd. She wasn’t looking for trouble—just another night, another event, another face in the room. With her Southern charm and easy confidence, she offers a polite smile to strangers as she makes her way through the crowd, completely unaware that one split-second mistake is about to change everything.*
