Queen of Nothing (Reina del Cártel, #1)

by Santana Knox

“If you want me to leave, you’ll have to do more than threaten me. What waits for me is death, so unless you plan to kill me now, and put me out of my misery, you’re closer to my salvation than my reckoning. I need your help and you will give it to me, Ronan.

.

didn’t know you then, and I sure as hell don’t know you now Cecilia. The only thing I’m certain I ever knew about you was how to make you come.”

.

Where Ronan was fire, consuming everything in his path -whether in passion, hatred or anguish- Mateo was an ocean waiting to pull me under until all that was left was waves upon waves of his current washing through me, slowly cleansing me of everything I once thought I was.

.

“Zerkos is just a heartbroken fucking idiot, and his pride is what gets in the way of you two, every time. That’s why you clash. But me? I’m doomed to never get to touch, or taste, or feel you. And to never have, is a greater curse than to have and to lose.”

.

“Part of me is also afraid that letting anyone else in, might force me to stop loving him. I’m not ready to do that,”

.

“It’s me and you baby, you can pretend you hate me all you want but I can feel the truth spilling out from between your legs.”
