Delve into the dark. The Carreras are waiting.... From USA Today best-selling author Cora Kenborn comes three full-length dark mafia romance novels from the Carrera Cartel Trilogy plus Stained White Lines, an explosive bonus novel, available only in the collection.

Carrera. A word whispered in fear. A name to avoid at all costs. Until I come face-to-face with it. Abducted. Held against my will. Prisoner of a war I know nothing about. Captive to a ruthless cartel prince who wants more than my freedom.... He wants me. I should hate him…. But the deeper Valentin drags me into his bloodstained world, the harder it becomes to resist. Until that stain? That blood? It becomes mine…. And I'm no longer a prisoner of war. I am the war.

Renzo Marchesi gives me two choices when he walks into my art gallery: help him find his brother's killer or suffer the consequences. He's a mafia prince.... Heir to the Marchesi throne. A man consumed by his demons. Beautiful. Ruthless. I don't belong in his world, and he doesn't belong in mine. Still, I'm not the spoiled politician's daughter he thinks I am.... This is the City of Thieves, where lies are hard currency and deception is the real art. Trust no one. Love no one. Too bad I don't follow my own rules....

No one is innocent in the eyes of Les Cavaliers de l’ombre. If your name ends up on my list, your time is up. No regrets. No mercy. No conscience. Until the enemy becomes my darkest obsession. Two days ago, I paid a price to fulfill a vendetta. Twenty minutes ago, I threw it all away. I came to take her life but claimed it instead. Now the proud Bratva princess is bound to a monster and chained to the past.

Thalia Santiago is the daughter of my enemy. A beautiful rebel with a single cause. Impulsive. Fearless. And ripe for her father's undoing. I recognized her the moment she stepped into my casino. I watched her start the fires that burned her pretty fingers, and then I poured gasoline on the flames. Now she's in my debt, and her dues are a shiny gold ring and a vow of deception. I'll bend her. I'll break her. I'll turn our mockery of a marriage into a battlefield. And that river of bad blood that flows between our two families? I'll make it an ocean of hate.

From USA Today best-selling Author Cora Kenborn comes a steamy friends-to-enemies-to-lovers story of revenge, redemption, and self-acceptance.

When the last match dropped, I thought it was over. But obsession is a dirty player in a corrupt game… And a made man never takes without consequence. The moment I crossed that line, free will became a bargaining chip. One that chained Becca to everything I fought to keep her from. Bending my promise into a vow was supposed to protect her. However, vengeance is a wicked temptress. She seduces lies from the honest… Twists saints into sinners… And turns an uptight psychiatrist into a killer.

Santi Carrera is the war I never saw coming. A beautiful liar. Ruthless. Captivating.... The architect of my own undoing. He twisted my loyalty into an ultimatum. He chained me to his side with a vow of deceit. I should despise him for all he’s done to me.... But behind those dark eyes, I see his pain. I recognize his conflict because it’s ours to share.

Everything has been one elaborate lie. My name. My identity. My entire existence. Brody Harcourt exposed me as a fraud, turning me from a queen into a pariah. Now there will be hell to pay.

Eight weeks ago, Johnny Malone showed up at my office, flipping a playing card between his fingers like I was wasting his time. Me. The one with the PhD. The one a self-confessed arsonist came to for help in controlling his "urges". The one he visits every week and undresses with his eyes.

All monsters dwell in the dark, but the most dangerous ones walk in the sun. That's why I protected Becca from the real me. Because when you go looking for revenge. Sometimes, it finds you, instead. Providence is my peace, and Becca is my anchor. When both vanish, my "working man" persona implodes, leaving a cold-blooded killer with nothing to lose.

They call me America's Sweetheart. Hollywood royalty. The last of an era. Sole survivor of LA's most infamous crime. I'm not any of those things. He forced me into the spotlight. Dominic McCallum - a torn page from my tainted past. The liar with the perfect smile and cold blue eyes....

I never meant to start a war. Then I fell for the boy my mother warned me about. To me, he was Matty. To the world, he was Mateo Cortes, soulless killer for the Carrera Cartel. We were the virgin and the villain. The debutante and the devil. He swore we'd end in ruin. I swore love would conquer all. I was wrong. One costly mistake and I’m given 30 seconds to decide my fate.

The first time I met Benson LaCroix, he sat in a bar wearing “cocky player” like a cheap cologne. The second time, he stood in a locker room in nothing but a jockstrap and a scowl. Apparently, the Miami Storm’s star pitcher isn’t too thrilled his new boss is the woman who turned him down.
