The Cartel 5: La Bella Mafia

Ashley Antoinette and JaQuavis Coleman

Book 5 of The Cartel

Fifth book in the long-running Cartel crime-family saga, picking up after the men of the Carter/Diamond family are presumed dead in a plane crash and the women step up to run things. The family tries to relocate and go legitimate on the West Coast, but old rivalries, betrayals, and a dangerous new conflict with a wealthy foreign businessman keep pulling them back into the streets. It continues the series' signature blend of organized-crime drama, romantic entanglements, and shifting loyalties among the extended family and their associates.
