Cargo (Owned and Claimed #2)

In New York’s darkest circles, secrets move faster than money - and some shipments should never reach shore.

When a cryptic warning points toward the Port of Baltimore, Isabella Moretti is pulled into a danger far larger than a family feud.

Someone is moving cargo through protected shipping lanes.

Someone powerful is making investigations disappear.

And the closer Isabella gets to the truth, the clearer it becomes that the people behind the operation will kill to keep their names buried.

Victor Marchetti is a man who rules through control, loyalty, and fear.

He knows the criminal world well enough to recognize the shape of an approaching war, but even he cannot predict who is pulling the strings or how far the threat reaches.

As old enemies surface and alliances become uncertain, the line between protection and possession grows harder to hold.

To survive, Isabella must decide whom to trust in a world where every favor has a price.

A hidden network of women, a witness with nowhere safe to run, and a trail of port records lead her toward a conspiracy built on wealth, silence, and human lives treated as inventory.

Every answer raises the stakes. Every choice risks exposing the people closest to her.

Cargo is a high-heat dark mafia romance about a woman discovering her own power, a dangerous man facing an enemy he cannot simply eliminate, and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond the docks.

Seductive, suspenseful, and morally charged, it asks one question: when the system protects the monsters, who is left to stop them?
