Owned. A Dark Cartel Romance (en Inglés) - Adrian Vale

The year ended. She stayed.

Elena Reyes was supposed to leave when the arrangement was over. One year, then freedom. That was the agreement.

She didn't go.

Miguel Vega didn't ask her to stay. He didn't need to. Something had shifted between them in the compound, in the secondary study, in the long evenings where the transaction had become something neither of them had a word for yet.

Now the Foundation is expanding. The municipality programme is live. Elena is no longer a settlement. She is the person who understands the operation better than anyone who was born into it.

And someone has noticed.

The arrangement was supposed to be simple. What comes after it is more complicated, more dangerous, and more real than anything the contract ever covered.

Owned is Book 2 of the Cartel Vows series, a slow burn dark romance about what happens when the year is over and leaving stops being the plan.

Continues in Book 3: Reclaimed.

Dark romance. Slow burn. Morally grey hero. Intended for mature readers 18+.
