"From USA Today best-selling author Cora Kenborn comes the Marchesi Empire, a forbidden enemies-to-lovers dark mafia romance duet.
Never flirt with fire....
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.
Lethal dark eyes that drown me in fiery lust and constant lies.
But the deeper I sink, the more those ethical lines blur, and his charm overshadows his inner demons.
Ones with no family, no friends, and no past.
Just a standing Tuesday appointment.
He's hiding from something.
Or someone....
And I intend to find out.
I've always had strict rules about men: No liars. No patients. No criminals. In one afternoon, I broke all three.
They say you should never play with fire....
Now I know why.
Torched Spades is book one in the Marchesi Empire Duet. The conclusion, Tortured Hearts, will release in late 2022.
Torched Spades contains dark subject matter. Please refer to the author's note at the front of the book for more details."
"This city tells a story of a man seeking vengeance....
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....
City of Thieves is an enemies-to-lovers mafia romance with no cliff-hanger and a guaranteed HEA. For mature listeners only."

"From Cora Kenborn and Catherine Wiltcher comes Corrupt Gods, a brand-new arranged-marriage mafia duet.
A Santiago is a lesson in ruin.
A Carrera bleeds for revenge.
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.
This is book one of a new dark-romance duet. Tainted Blood, book two, is now live.
Bad Blood is set in the Santiago and Carrera worlds, but it is not necessary to have listened to either trilogy beforehand."

Under my command.

Unfortunately, revenge doesn't taste as sweet as the woman I vowed to destroy.
Change of plans.
I want more than her pain.
I want her everything."

"Loyalty is the deadliest sin
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.
But I'm back for more than revenge.
More than blood.
My eye is on the prize.
The Carrera throne.
I'll win the kingpin's trust at any cost…
Even if it means crossing enemy lines alongside Houston's political pin-up boy.
But things don't always go as planned.
Sometimes a queen has to steal her crown.
And the one man she can never have…
Becomes the only one she wants."
"Love is the deadliest lie.
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 thirty seconds to decide my fate…
Inmate or informer.
Four years ago, I ran for my life.
Now, I’ve returned to claim it.
My devil will come for me…
And God help anyone who gets in his way."
"Obsession is the deadliest vice
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."
