Under Her Control

Tessa Grayson is Hanna Walker's best friend, and after one night with Mateo Alvarez she has something to hold over him. She wants him to use his skills against Hanna's family, and if he refuses she will tell Hanna about the night and about the rest of it. Mateo came into the United States illegally, looking for a better life. He got good at software work in an underground ring, good enough that Hanna found him when her family's company had an emergency that threatened their reputation. They started seeing each other. He came from one world and she came from another, and his status stayed a secret between them. On the night of Hanna's birthday he slept with Tessa. He regretted it immediately, knowing what he had done to the person he loved most. Tessa's demands put him inside the family he had helped, working against them, with the truth about the night and about his papers held over him the whole time.
