❖ I was never supposed to be his. Now, I wear his ring… and his name. ❖ Marcus Drake is a monster. A king forged in blood and ruthlessness, ruling over Port Hollow’s underworld with an iron fist. He doesn’t believe in love. He doesn’t believe in mercy. And he sure as hell doesn’t believe in saving people. But when the cartel marks me for death, Marcus doesn’t just save me—he claims me. A forced marriage. A deal inked in blood. A vow I never agreed to. Now, I’m trapped in his gilded cage, suffocated by his control, tormented by the way his touch sets my body on fire. He ...

🔥 CROWNED BY THE CARTEL 🔥 I was never meant to wear the crown. I was meant to plan the weddings, host the parties, and smile for the cameras. Not fight. Not kill. Not rule. But when my father was murdered, I learned the truth—fairy tales don’t exist in the cartel. And the only way to survive is to become something worse than the monsters hunting me. Diego Montiel—the brother I once loved—put a price on my head. Gabriel Sarmiento—the man I once feared—became my only chance at survival. He stole me away under the cover of night. Not for ransom. Not for mercy. For war. They ...

I was my father’s prized possession, sheltered and obedient. But when he promised me to Viktor Sokolov—a man fifteen years my senior and as feared as he was respected—my life became a dark gamble. Viktor was ruthless, a cold enforcer with a history drenched in blood and betrayal. His eyes burned with unspoken torment, and his touch was both a promise of pain and pleasure.

I fought him at every turn,...

One night was all it took to rip my life apart. Now, I’m a prisoner of Enzo—a ruthless hitman with cold eyes and hands that make my skin burn. He should be my enemy, but every stolen glance, every touch leaves me questioning everything. I want to hate him, but desire keeps pulling me under. He’s dangerous, a man who could destroy me, but there’s a darkness between us that feels inevitable. Trusting him could destroy me, but resisting him might be impossible. I’m falling for him… and it could cost me everything.

𝐈 was born to be a pawn in my father’s game. But he never expected the devil to claim me instead. They dressed me in silk and called it luxury. But gilded cages are still cages— and I was handed over like property… sold to a man who doesn't buy anything. He takes. Lorcan Vesper is everything I was raised to fear— ruthless, calculating, merciless. He says I belong to him now. That my father's debt has a price. And I’m it. He doesn't hurt me. Not in the way I expect. He invades my mind instead—studies my every move, controls without chains, commands without touching. And ...
