Blurb
Kidnapping a reluctant bride is easy. Staying off her jilted fiancé’s radar is tough.
As the second-in-command of the Lozano Cartel, Enrique Briceño always gets what he wants. So when Lourdes’s father demands she marry another man, Enrique makes his move—abduction. Vowing to corrupt his sweet little captive in every wicked way imaginable, he doesn’t expect her to fight him with fire.
Cartel princess Lourdes Villegas longs for peace. Freedom. A chance to let her artist soul breathe. Yet once again, a man is pulling her strings. In Enrique’s arms, she trades one ruthless capo for another. His touch sets her ablaze, but she’s already plotting her escape.
As political alliances crumble and the streets run red, Enrique must prove he’s more than just another monster in Lourdes’s life. Because this time, love might be the most dangerous thing of all.

Excerpt
– Background on Scene: After an intense round of lovemaking, they’re cuddling together.
Grinning, he squeezed her supple ass.
Lourdes yelped and jerked against him. “You’re incorrigible.” She laughed, loosening up. “I’ve never experienced anything like that. I thought female orgasms were a myth.”
“Glad to prove that insane theory wrong.” Enrique tightened his hold on her lush body. Sudden rage simmered in his veins.
That fucking asshole, Jacobo, had never given her an orgasm.
God only knew how many nights Lourdes had lain awake, wishing she were somewhere else. Jacobo had abused and mistreated her in so many ways.
Then her father had tried to marry her off to another violent son of a bitch.
Enrique exhaled slowly, pushing back his anger. She needed patience. Reassurance. A man who would show her paradise in and out of the bedroom. By the time he was done, she wouldn’t just enjoy sex—she would crave it. Demand it. Know how to take what she wanted. And she wouldn’t be able to keep her hands off him.
He would corrupt her.
Keep her forever.
Marry her.
“You’re tense.” She turned to face him. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. How do you feel?”
“Mmm. Wonderful. My body is tingling all over.”
“Good. You’re mine. Your body knows that.” He ran his knuckles down the curve of her spine, and she gasped, just as he expected. Just as he wanted. He rolled on top of her and stretched her arms past her head. “I’m going to corrupt you in every way imaginable.”
“Do it.”
So he did.
