Sins of Sicily. The Cartel Reign Series, #4

Sins of SicilyThe Cartel Reign Series (Book Four)My name is Anita Gonzalez, and I believed the law could save people. I was wrong. When my younger sister disappears into Palermo's criminal underworld, every legal door slams shut in my face. Every lead ends with the same whispered name. Sergio Costa. The Devil of Sicily. A man who rules with fear, whose enemies disappear without a trace, and whose heart is said to be colder than the gun he carries.
So I make the only bargain I have left. My freedom for my sister's life. Thirty days. Thirty days inside his fortress. Thirty days to obey. Thirty days to survive a man who sees mercy as weakness and control as the only language worth speaking. I expected violence. I expected hatred. What I never expected was the way he would unravel everything I believed about justice... about power... about myself.
Because monsters aren't always born. Sometimes they're made. And sometimes they recognize something broken inside you long before you do. But Palermo is a city built on secrets, and every empire has enemies waiting for its king to stumble. The moment Sergio begins to see me as more than a bargaining chip, I become the most valuable target in Sicily. Now I'm trapped between two impossible choices:Run from the Devil......or stand beside the only man powerful enough to save us both.
In Sicily, every bargain demands a price. The question is whether either of us will survive long enough to pay it. Sins of Sicily is the fourth book in Nancy Lauren's Cartel Reign Series.
