A dark romance from USA Today bestselling author Julia Sykes Carmen Ronaldo is my enemy and my obsession. I’ll conquer her and make her mine. For years, Carmen has hated me. I seduced her to learn her family’s secrets, and then I used those secrets to fracture the Ronaldo cartel. I took half of their territory and made myself a king, but I’ve never been fully satisfied in my victory. I’ve never experienced regret. The emotions that rule weaker men don’t affect me. Until her. I’ve waited far too long to claim Carmen for myself. My feisty little kitten might hate me for taking her as my captive, but she'll surrender herself to me. I’ll protect her from all her enemies. Except me. My cage will be her refuge, my rules her fortress. Carmen is no longer my enemy. She's just mine.
