Hostile Rival : An Enemies to Lovers, Reverse Age Gap Dark Mafia Romance (Souza Cartel: Matheus)

She’s an assassin. My enemy. And the only woman I want.

Although I was born into a powerful crime family, my father refused to train me as a warlord. Rather, I’m a law graduate who’s grown immune to fast cars, pretty women, and dangerous risks. Everything comes too easy when you’re a billionaire cartel prince.

But since my father and his expectations died, I’ve swapped my tailored suit for a ski mask and combat gear, swore an oath, and joined my big brother's elite squad of hitmen.

And that’s when I bumped into the biggest risk I’d ever take—her.

She’s a lethal sicario who works for my family’s biggest rival. And as it turns out, the woman who is ten years older than me is also my roommate for the foreseeable future.

The more she pushes me away, the harder I pull her back. My sights are set on learning all of her dark secrets and forcing the stubborn beauty to give into her darkest desires––me––Matheus Souza.

Falling for me is her worst nightmare. But I’m going to break her down and make her body, soul, and heart all mine because nothing feels as good as the forbidden tastes.
