Heiress of Roses: Book 2 of the Cartel Elements Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798870516509)

Lexie

Most cartel women have one purpose: be the perfect wife to the most eligible made man available. That's far from my purpose.

After years of climbing up the ropes and proving my worth to my father's organization, I was more than trophy wife material. Still, that hasn't stopped my father from searching for the ideal husband to have by my side.

When Dante Harris, the infamous son of our enemy, approaches my father with an offer he can't ignore, he receives my unwilling hand in marriage.

I'm not sure whether this is another one of Dante's schemes or if his intentions are sincere, but I know I'm not walking down the aisle without a fight.

Dante

The Ruiz family has been the bane of my father's existence since they first swept into town over twenty years ago. They stole his city, his men and, for a point in time, his son. He's never stopped looking for strategies to take them down for good.

Ten years ago, he regained what he lost, but caused me to lose the people I cared about.

Now, with a new plan for their demise, he's throwing me back into their den.

Perceived as a traitor and hated by all, I need to put on my best charm. But trust is hard to fix once it's been broken, and my fiancé has made it clear I'll need to work hard to earn hers.

I'm up for the challenge, but I want more than Lexie's trust - I want her heart.
