About this ebook

A drug lord on the run. A cartel princess in hiding. All it takes is a spark to set their world ablaze.

Bristol Rieger left his criminal life behind for a fresh start in Mexico. Flying under the radar of the government and the cartels alike, his best-laid plans go awry when a woman from his narco days discovers his whereabouts. Carmen Lozano, however, is no longer the innocent girl he remembers.

Carmen escaped the chains of her tiara and her abusive marriage to join a group of resistance fighters. The last thing she expected was the now-retired capo setting out to seduce her with his wicked touch. Embracing the blood on his hands is easy, but his secrets wear on her patience.

When their enemies close in, Bristol will have to summon his inner monster to protect her. But can that monster be tamed again?


– Book one is an Interracial (Hispanic woman/white man) dark romantic suspense novel in the Lozano Cartel series. All the books can be read as a standalone, but are part of an interconnected series.

– Scenes featuring torture/violence, kidnapping, attempted assault, child abuse (discussed), and suicide (discussed) may be uncomfortable for some readers.

No cheating and HEA guaranteed!

Dark Hearts Aflame presents what seems to me to be a realistic picture of the world of the Mexican cartels, wherein the love of power surpasses even the love of one’s own family. At the same time, it offers hope for redemption. The author’s attention to detail makes the intense and sometimes violent scenes extremely vivid. The reader can feel the desperation of the characters as they are constantly forced to look over their shoulders when they find themselves on the run together.

I really enjoyed Dark Hearts Aflame! The plot is fast-paced and full of action, with plenty of suspense to keep the tension high. It’s dark, intense, and filled with high stakes and increasingly dangerous situations. The cartel world is deadly and unpredictable, and there’s a constant threat of violence and a few twists that kept me invested in the story. I would definitely recommend the book to readers who like mafia romance or dark romantic suspense!

Wow. If you like dark action, passion, romantic suspense mixed with drug cartels and violence, you’ll love this book. This is the first one in a series dealing with the Lozano Cartel.
