The Love Language of the Cartel by Ariya Brooks

Demi

I was born at the top of the food chain of Chicago’s underground crime scene.

As the daughter of a don, the rules I’ve been raised to follow are as archaic as they come.

But everything changes when my father severs my marriage contract to Ozias Rivera, a ruthless leader of a powerful Mexican cartel.

With a body like a god and an attitude like a demon, it’s no wonder the streets call him El Diablo.

He isn’t the Romeo to my Juliet or the Prince Charming to my fairy tale.

He’s the villain to my nightmares and the type who’ll stop at nothing to claim what he desires most—me.

And he’ll cut down anyone who dares to stand in his way.

Ozias

When you’re the drug lord of a cartel, nothing is off-limits.

I’ve built my empire on blood and loyalty and crushed anyone who plucked up the courage to cross me—to take what’s mine.

And Demi Malone is mine. Or at least she should be.

She was the bride I was promised and the beauty to my beast.

A deal is a deal, and I won’t let her slip through my fingers.

Not now. Not ever.
