EXCERPT ONE
John’s poker face disappeared, morphing into something
that looked equal parts lust and rage. His hands found my wrists again, pushed
me roughly so my back settled against the tiles once more.
‘What do you do
when you want something you can’t have?’ he ground out. His blue eyes were
bright, a dead giveaway about the state of his mind. When he fired up, they
spoke loud and clear. I knew because I’d been looking away from them for years,
afraid that if I stared too long, I’d get lost in them. And I could absolutely,
definitely, categorically, not get lost in John Portland’s eyes for even one
second.
He. Was. Dornan’s. Best. Friend.
‘I wait,’ I whispered, my own convictions sliding away
like melted butter as he rested a hand on my hip, just above my panties, and
squeezed.
‘And then?’
I thought about the money I’d stockpiled. Emilio’s dirty
money. My escape plan, for a rainy day. And it was pouring with rain right now.
‘When nobody’s looking, I take it.’
His eyes burned into me.
‘Nobody’s looking, Ana.’
Something inside me snapped, like an elastic band that had
been pulled and pulled until it broke apart. I was starving. Not for food. For
affection. For understanding. For the touch of a man who wasn’t trying to hurt
me.
We came together in a frenzy, lips crashing on lips, hands
everywhere. I pulled him close to me, sighing into his mouth as I felt how hard
he was against me, only his jeans separating us.
EXCERPT TWO
‘Mariana,’ he’d whispered. He put his finger underneath my
chin again and tilted it up, so I had no choice but to meet his cerulean gaze.
‘What?’ I asked.
‘If you change your mind—if you decide one day you need to
leave—you tell me. And I’ll help you, okay? I’ll make sure they can’t find you.
Dornan’s my friend—my best friend. But he’s also Emilio’s son, and there are
things he cannot control.’
I burst into tears, covering my face with my hands. I’d
been theirs for two years by then,
two years where the only visitor I got was Dornan, and the only person I spoke
to every day was myself, in the mirror, talking myself out of doing something
crazy like killing myself. And I loved Dornan. But I hated my life.
‘You don’t understand,’ I said finally. ‘He loves me. He saved me.’
John looked at me sadly, the smile fading from his face.
‘You call this
saved?’
Mariana and Dornan Story continues in
Kingpin by Lili St Germain releasing December 14th!
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?
