The Toy King (Toy Runners, #2)

Only the naughty list gets these toys...
Valente Correa lives for one thing—leading the Toy Run. He takes his duties as a Magi delivering toys for the House of Correa very seriously. But when he's tasked with transporting his brother's future bride through the Andes, he doesn't expect the walking, talking temptation that is Kessina Macias. When a snowstorm strands them together for two nights, Val can't resist what the luscious, smart-mouthed firebrand offers—even if it means betraying his brother, his father, and his house.
Kessina Macias only wants one thing: independence. After a sheltered life in the mountains with her overprotective father, she yearns for some breathing room. Agreeing to marry a son from the House of Correa isn't ideal, but it will get her out from under her father's watchful eye. The problem? The brother she agreed to marry is not the one she desires. Two scorching nights of passion with the broody, brawny Toy Runner change everything. And if she can convince him they're a perfect match, she might get the best gift of all—Val himself.

Adriana was born and raised in the Caribbean, but for the last 15 years has let her job (and her spouse) take her all over the world. She loves writing stories about people who look and sound like her people, getting unapologetic happy endings. When she's not dreaming up love stories, planning logistically complex vacations with her family or hunting for discount Broadway tickets, she's a trauma therapist in New York City, working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. Her debut novel, American Dreamer, has been featured on Entertainment Weekly, NPR, was one of the TODAY Show on NBC's Hot Beach Reads picks. She's one of the co-creators of the Queer Romance PoC Collective.
