The second scorching novel in the USA Today bestselling Cartel trilogy from the smash-hit author Lili St Germain.
They say love conquers all.
It's a lie.
Five days a week, I dressed in smart business clothes. I painted my face, and went to work as an accountant. But nothing about my life was normal.
For eight years I had been the property of the Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club. I laundered their money so well they'd never let me leave. My only glimmer of light was the man I loved. The man who had saved me.
Dornan.
His love had been the only thing that kept the demons at bay. But he'd become so immersed in the cartel's brutal business that I hardly knew him anymore.
Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing.
Would he pull me down into the darkness until he destroyed me? Could I save him?
Did I even want to?

EXCERPT
I recoiled as I felt her blood hit my cheek, the deafening roar of my gun something that was becoming far too familiar. Allie hit the dirt before I’d even blinked, the force of the bullet sending her straight onto her back.
Above the steady drum of the rain, I heard movement outside. Jesus. Was she still alive? I opened the door as quietly as I could and slipped out, pressing it shut behind me. The rain was brutal, and I could barely see in front of me. I circled around the back of the pickup, gun at the ready, my eyes searching for any movement as I rounded the corner of the truck and happened upon Allie. There was blood coming from her mouth, and she had one arm outstretched, reaching clumsily for her gun. In her dying moments, she didn’t look like a bitch anymore. She looked like a sad, lost little girl, and I silently cursed Murphy for pulling her into this hellish existence. For the first time, I realized that she was younger than me, just a young woman who fell in love with the wrong man. Don’t we all.
She saw me, and her hand reached for the gun more desperately. Before she could grab it and take a shot at me, I placed my bare foot on her wrist, pinning it to the ground.
She looked up at me, her eyes sad.
‘I thought he loved me,’ she choked.
I nodded, crouching beside her. ‘That’s the thing about men like Murphy,’ I said softly. ‘They’re not capable of love, Allie. They only know how to destroy.’
She seemed to soften, her eyes closing momentarily. Blinking back tears, she gazed up at me. ‘I don’t want to die,’ she whispered. ‘I didn’t know.’
I nodded sympathetically, pushing her hair back from her face.
Before she could do anything, I placed my hand over her mouth and squeezed her nose shut between my thumb and index finger. Shock and realization lit up in her eyes as she thrashed her head back and forth beneath my grip.
‘That’s the difference between you and me,’ I said to her, as she clawed at my hand and sucked against my palm for air. ‘I’m old enough to know better.

REVIEW
4.5 stars
If you've read the Gypsy Brothers series you know all about Dornan Ross. Except you really don't. Kingpin takes us back before the Gypsy Brothers books, this is Mariana and Dornan's story, as well as a look into John's life when Juliette was a young girl.
I went into this one full of hate for Dornan. Knowing what he was capable of, what he's done I couldn't bring myself to see him as a person no matter how I tried he will always be a monster to me.
Kingpin is a dark, dirty, blood and guts read we've come to expect when dealing with these characters. Mariana being the innocent, owned by the Gypsy Brothers and Dornan's mistress. I wanted to hate her for that, really I did but the situation she was in didn't give her the option to refuse and to me the love she felt for him for saving her was more Stockholm syndrome than love.
But like everything Dornan touches that love turned to hate eventually when the evil that he is was shoved in her face.
During this time Mariana finally turns to John for help. John couldn't be more different from Dornan. He's a good man, a man who protects where Dornan harms. He loves where Dornan controls. He is the only light in Mariana's life near the end. 
And the end, that will leave you with so many questions. John and Mariana have just offered themselves up on the chopping block I believe but we'll be waiting for the final book to find out!
