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 was thrust into a marriage that bound me not just to a man but to a world where trust was scarce, and survival meant playing by brutal rules. He said I was his, that there was no escape. I fought him at every turn,...

But when I'm paired with Alexei on this high-stakes mission, my carefully laid plans begin to unravel.

❖ 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 ...

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 ...

🔥 CORONADA POR EL CÁRTEL 🔥 Nunca se suponía que yo llevara la corona. Se suponía que debía planear las bodas, organizar las fiestas y sonreír para las cámaras. No luchar. No matar. No gobernar. Pero cuando asesinaron a mi padre, descubrí la verdad: los cuentos de hadas no existen en el cártel. Y la única forma de sobrevivir es convertirse en algo peor que los monstruos que me persiguen. Diego Montiel —el hermano al que una vez amé— puso precio a mi cabeza. Gabriel Sarmiento —el hombre al que una vez temí— se convirtió en mi única esperanza de sobrevivir. Me robó ...

I was born into a world of blood and power, a pawn in a game played by ruthless men. But nothing could have prepared me for Stepan Belov He is the Bratva’s deadliest weapon—a ghost in the dark, a man with no past, no weakness. Unyielding. Unbreakable. A predator who protects what’s his with lethal precision. And now, I belong to him. After an assassination attempt, Stepan is assigned as my bodyguard. My shield. My shadow. My torment. Cold. Merciless. Completely untouchable. Until the night I glimpse the cracks in his armor. The scars he hides. The fire in his eyes when another man ...

Nací en un mundo de sangre y poder, un simple peón en un juego manejado por hombres despiadados. Pero nada podría haberme preparado para Stepan Belov. Él es el arma más letal de la Bratva; un fantasma en la oscuridad, un hombre sin pasado, sin debilidad. Inflexible. Indestructible. Un depredador que protege lo suyo con precisión mortal. Y ahora, yo le pertenezco. Tras un intento de asesinato, Stepan es asignado como mi guardaespaldas. Mi escudo. Mi sombra. Mi tormento. Frío. Implacable. Completamente intocable. Hasta la noche en que logro vislumbrar las grietas en su armadura. Las ...

Yo era la posesión más preciada de mi padre, protegida y obediente. Pero cuando me prometió a Viktor Sokolov—un hombre quince años mayor que yo, tan temido como respetado—mi vida se convirtió en una apuesta oscura. Viktor era despiadado, un ejecutor frío con una historia empapada de sangre y traición. Sus ojos ardían con un tormento no dicho, y su toque era tanto una promesa de dolor como de placer. Me vi lanzada a un matrimonio que me ató no solo a un hombre, sino a un mundo donde la confianza era escasa y la supervivencia exigía seguir reglas brutales. Dijo que yo era suya, ...

🔥 SUBASTADA AL CÁRTEL 🔥 Nací siendo hija del cártel. Marcada. Prometida. Una pieza más en el imperio despiadado de mi padre. Pasé mi vida esperando una salida. Pero cuando las paredes finalmente se cerraron, la libertad no llegó. Santino Corso sí lo hizo. El Carnicero de Buenos Aires. El hombre que me robó en plena noche. No para salvarme. No para liberarme. Sino para poseerme. Dice que le pertenezco. Que nunca estuve destinada a otro. Que me romperá antes de dejarme ir. Pero ya estoy harta de ser un peón en este mundo de reyes. Lo enfrentaré. Lo tentaré. Lo manipularé. Y...

🔥 OWNED BY THE CARTEL 🔥 I knew the knock at the door was a warning. I didn’t expect it to be a sentence. They came in the dead of night. Not for money. Not for retribution. For me.

My husband’s debt should have died with him, but Montoya doesn’t believe in loose ends. So I was dragged into his world, my daughter cradled in my arms, with no chance of escape. I was meant to be a prisoner. A lesson. A possession. But he ...

🔥 BLOODBOUND TO THE CARTEL 🔥 I never wanted this life. Never wanted to be a cartel wife, a possession wrapped in gold and blood. But in this world, what I want doesn’t matter. They traded me like currency. A deal sealed in gunpowder and death. And now, I belong to Matías Castillo—the Beast of the Arias Cartel. Scarred. Ruthless. Unrelenting. He doesn’t ask for obedience. He takes it. He doesn’t demand loyalty. He owns it. And now, he says he owns me. But he doesn’t know my secrets. He doesn’t know that the child I carry isn’t his. And when he finds out, I’ll lose the ...

❖ He took me as collateral. Now, he wants my submission. ❖ I came looking for my brother. Now, I belong to a monster. Lucius Valmont. Feared king of Port Amara’s underworld.

Except…...

I came back to bury my past. Instead, I walked straight into the arms of my worst nightmare. Malachim Vetrov. Ruthless. Calculated. The Pakhan of the Vetrov Bratva—a man whose name is a whispered threat in the underworld. The boy who once tormented me has become the most powerful man in Moscow, and now? He holds my fate in his hands. His offer is simple—stay under his roof, care for his daughter, and pretend the past between us never happened. But nothing with Mal is ever simple. His gaze is a silent warning, his presence a storm I can’t outrun. The man I hate is also the one I ...

🔥 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 ...

Me dice que soy su prisionera, que no significo nada… pero la forma en que me mira, la manera en que su toque se queda más de lo ...

🔥 AUCTIONED TO THE CARTEL 🔥 I was born a daughter of the cartel. Branded. Promised. A pawn in my father’s ruthless empire. I spent my life waiting for an escape. But when the walls finally closed in, freedom didn’t come. Santino Corso did. The Butcher of Buenos Aires. The man who stole me in the dead of night. Not to save me. Not to set me free. To own me. He tells me I belong to him. That I was never meant for another. That he’ll break me before he ever lets me go. But I’m done being a pawn in this world of kings. I’ll fight him. Tempt him. Manipulate him. And when the time...

At nineteen, I was no stranger to fear. But nothing could prepare me for Ivan Romanov. He’s the devil cloaked in power, the Pakhan of the Romanov Bratva—a man who could destroy me with a glance. Taken from my world and thrust into his, I became his pawn, his leverage in a war my brother ignited. Ivan is merciless, a man carved from shadows and blood, yet the crackling tension between us is impossible to deny.

🔥 POSEÍDA POR EL CARTEL 🔥 Sabía que ese golpe en la puerta era una advertencia. No esperaba que fuera una sentencia. Vinieron en plena noche. No por dinero. No por venganza. Vinieron por mí.

Se suponía que yo sería una prisionera. Una lección. Una ...
