I spent years building an empire, proving I was just as ruthless and unstoppable as the men who came before me. The streets fear me, my cartel moves like a machine, and I finally got the one thing I never thought I’d have—the love of my life, Livia. She is the only woman who ever saw me beyond the blood and power. But just when I thought I had it all under control, he came back. My uncle was the ghost I never saw coming. And now, he’s back to take everything I’ve built—including her.

This ain’t just about business anymore. This is a war, and it’s personal. I’m fighting on all fronts to keep the throne, protect my woman, and prove that I can be both the boss this cartel needs and the man Livia deserves.

I already buried my uncle once. Now, I gotta make sure he stays dead.

I fought my way to the top, earned my crown in blood, and made sure my name rang bells in the streets. But none of that matters if I don’t have Aria.

I lost her once because I let my rage, pride, and demons come between us. But I’ve spent every second since trying to be the man she needs and the man who loves her right, with patience, discipline, and everything in me. And I swear on my life, once I get her back, she will never slip through my fingers again.

But Stone has resurfaced from the dead, and he ain’t just coming for me. He wants Aria, too. He’s a ruthless, cold-blooded mfer who crawled out of hell just to drag me down with him. He wants to burn my world to the ground, take everyone I love, and make me feel the same pain I felt when I had to bury my mother and father.

But I refuse to let him win. I’ll spill as much blood as it takes to make sure Aria is safe in my arms, where she belongs. Because once I get her back, she’s mine forever.","format",{"_19":92,"_93":94,"_95":96,"_97":48},"publisher","Jessica Watkins Presents","page_count",402,"duration","published_date","pub_date","March 2","isbn","asin","B0DZ12XJ6G","hex_code","#1a1a1f","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/3692i/edf44263-c8b3-4ee7-99c2-c3af170463c3.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F3692i%2Fedf44263-c8b3-4ee7-99c2-c3af170463c3.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_85":86,"_87":88},"tags",[],"ratings",{},"recommend",{"_89":31,"_90":50,"_91":50},"yes","no","maybe",3,"name","Kindle","type","digital","audio","The Cartier Cartel","4b76ec1f-86d3-433e-b474-bf0888b1c72a","order",{"_19":102,"_93":103,"_52":104,"_105":-5,"_106":-5,"_107":108,"_109":110,"_111":112},"e13d363e-2aae-4652-83c4-1453a8ae5cff","Jessica N.
