Sweetest Obsession (The Cordova Empire, #2) / The Cordova Empire (ePub)

This is a STANDALONE dark(ish) erotic romance with insta-obsession (no cheating-HEA-no cliffhanger)

Ramon
In my family, there's an old story going back generations about love at first sight. I used to think it was a fairytale, until I met my sweet Joy. The more I got to know her, the more I wanted her. But the world of the cartels is a dangerous place, so I watched her from afar, wishing things were different and I could claim her for my own. Despite my best efforts to keep her safe, evil found Joy. After she endured a savage beating at the hands of a rival cartel, I vowed to do everything in my power to make her mine and win her heart. I can only pray that when she finds out the truth about me, and the things I've done to bind her to me forever, that she'll be able to love the monster I really am.

Joy
Without a doubt, Ramon Cordova is one of the biggest jerks I've ever met. He's egotistical, bossy, and seems to know how to push all my buttons. Too bad he's also sinfully handsome, utterly charming when he wants to be, and is the only man I feel safe with. After the attack, I've become afraid of the world outside of my home-afraid of crowds, afraid of loud noises, afraid of everything. When I'm in Ramon's strong arms, those fears melt away. I know there's a darkness inside of him that he tries to hide, and I'm afraid that when I finally find out the secrets he's been keeping, he'll destroy what's left of my battered heart.
