Please welcome Amber Daulton to talk about her upcoming release Lost in His Spiderwebs, Book 2 of the Lozano Cartel series. It's available now for pre-order and will release October 14.
Lost in His Spiderwebs is the second
book in the Lozano Cartel series and follows the gripping love story
of Rubén Lozano and Drina Cabrera in an unexpected second-chance dark romance.
Rubén is not a man to cross. A ruthless,
enigmatic cartel kingpin, he’ll stop at nothing to achieve his objectives.
Drina, on the other hand, is a career-focused mother who’s raising her daughter
alone. Their worlds never should’ve touched. But when Drina’s life shatters,
she finds herself caught in the grip of a violent cartel. And Rubén is the only
one who can help her.
Readers first meet Rubén and Drina as secondary
characters in Dark Hearts Aflame, the first book in the series. Even
then, I knew Rubén deserved his own story, though I wasn’t sure who his heroine
would be. After considering and discarding a few ideas, inspiration struck.
Drina! She was the perfect match for him. But I had some questions. What if
they were lovers years ago? What if he was the father of her daughter, and he
didn’t know it? I’m a huge fan of the “opposites attract” and “second chance”
tropes, so the story fell together pretty easily.
Lost in His Spiderwebs is now
available for preorder and will be released on October 14, 2025. The next book,
Corrupting
His Wife, is currently in draft form. To stay updated on new

In the meantime, don’t forget to add Lost in His Spiderwebs to your
reading list. You won’t regret it!

Kidnapped by
the enemy. Bought by the jefe. Will his smoldering touch thaw her frozen heart?
Rubén Lozano,
the new leader of the Lozano Cartel, craves peace amidst a legacy of bloodshed
and death. He never expected to find his ex-lover, Drina Cabrera, in the
clutches of his vicious rivals. Her haunted eyes compel him to rescue her, but
freeing her is another matter.
After five
months of captivity, Drina trades one captor for another. Though she succumbs
to Rubén’s masterful touch, the bittersweet memory of her daughter and the life
she was stolen from is a constant wedge between them.
When Rubén’s
darkest secret comes out, he will have to wash his hands in crimson. Will Drina
let her king face the danger alone, or stand at his side as his cartel queen?
– Book two in the dark romance series, the Lozano Cartel. All the books
can be read as a standalone, but are part of an interconnected series.
– Scenes featuring drug distribution, violence, kidnapping, and attempted
sexual assault may be uncomfortable for some readers.
Excerpt
“Smile,” Rubén
told her. “It’s showtime.”
She nodded and
lifted her chin, wincing a little in the flashing camera lights.
As three hand-picked paparazzi snapped pictures of him and Drina
from all angles, Rubén counted to thirty before he steered Drina
past them to the music room.
“Wow,” Drina
murmured as they passed the piano for the ballroom.
A massive
chandelier gleamed from the lofty ceiling, its decorative crystals reflecting
the soft white light and dancing spots across the ivory walls and the
chattering, laughing guests. The live band played instrumental music at the far
end of the rectangular room, where Esme’s team had set up fancy tables and
chairs for the speech and dinner portion of the evening.
“Why do you keep
this room locked up? It’s magnificent.”
He shrugged.
“It’s a bitch to clean.”
His blunt answer
steepled Drina’s eyebrows. “My, what consideration. I’m sure the housekeeping
staff appreciates it,” she teased and pulled him onto the dance floor alongside
several other couples. “Let’s dance.”
As her arms slid
around his shoulders, he rested his hands on her waist. Her body heat and strawberry aroma enveloped him. Groaning, he gripped the thick fabric of her dress so hard that it bunched and the
band of his rings bit into his skin. She rested her head against his chest, and
her hair teased his nose. They swayed, lost
in each other as though they were the only people around. A foolish notion, one he shouldn’t revel in. If he
did, he would ravage her on the floor.
“You have a good turnout,” she murmured while he twirled her about. She
spun back into his embrace. “Are any of these people your friends?”
“Hardly.” This was his world. Glamour, power, prestige. The public mask
he wore to hide his sinister nature. “You’re swimming in dangerous waters. The
sooner you realize I can buy and discard all these sharks and guppies with a
flick of my wrist, the better off you’ll be.”
“I’m well aware you’re king of the sharks.”
He snorted, holding her closer. “You’re a barracuda. Lithe grace and
sharp teeth.”
“Ooh, I like that.” She nipped at his chin. “I’ll never be a guppy.”
Damn right. As the song ended,
he guided her off the dance floor. Duty called.
