💀 Mateo Hits #1 — and I’m Over the Moon
Guess what? Mateo, book 2 in the Dark Veil series, just hit #1 Bestseller in the Hispanic & Latino Romance category! 🖤✨
I know it’s not the biggest category out there, but seeing that little orange #1 banner next to my book? Absolutely surreal.
And here’s the part that really made me pause — Mateo is also sitting at #56 in the Espionage Thriller category. That’s a much more competitive list, and to see my dark romance brushing shoulders with those heavy-hitting thrillers? I’m still wrapping my head around it.
It’s a reminder that dark romance doesn’t have to stay in one lane — it can be intimate and dangerous, tender and explosive, all at once. And you made that possible.
Thank you to everyone who has read, reviewed, and shared Mateo. Your support is the reason this story is finding its way into more hands and hearts.
Here's what some readers are saying
"This book had everything: dirty secrets, steamy scenes, action-packed twists, and a romance that sinks its teeth into you and doesn’t let go. Dark mafia romance done right and I am obsessed." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Elaina
