The Predator’s Claim

The Predator's Claim is a dark cartel romance about obsession, forbidden desire, and a love that turns lethal. Mattia is the most feared enforcer of the Los Sombríos—the underboss's son, a tattooed predator raised in blood and violence. Cold, explosive, and uncontrollable, he has spent his life proving he belongs in a world where mercy is a weakness. But there has always been one dangerous exception. Flora. Sweet, romantic, and untouched by the brutality around her, Flora is the daughter of a powerful cartel adviser, raised among music, flowers, and dreams that don't survive in a criminal empire. She is everything Mattia should never want—and the only woman who has ever had the power to calm the monster inside him. They grew up side by side, bound by years of stolen glances and unspoken longing. For Flora, Mattia was always unreachable. For Mattia, Flora was forbidden territory. Until the night everything shatters. At a lavish cartel event, Flora draws the attention of a wealthy Medellín heir—bold, arrogant, and unafraid to pursue her in public. For the first time, Flora allows herself to be seen. And for the first time, Mattia realizes the truth too late: he could lose her. Jealousy ignites into something savage. Possession turns violent. And when another man touches what Mattia has always claimed as his in silence, lines are crossed that cannot be undone. What follows is a brutal collision of desire, blood, secrets, and power—where love becomes a war capable of destroying alliances, families, and everything they thought they were protecting. Because Flora has always belonged to him. And now, Mattia will make the entire world understand that some claims are written in blood.
