Mastermind Part 3: Callie's Cartel

Rate this book
Callie Morgan is back—and she’s not playing fair.

Fresh out of prison and betrayed by the very people she once called family, Callie rises from the ashes with one build an empire that will rival CR Enterprises and reclaim the man she believes is rightfully hers—Cartier Richardson. But the streets of Atlanta don’t forgive easily, and neither does Lila Richardson, who’s pulling strings from behind bars with a vengeance that cuts deep.

As Callie launches Claymore Industries and seduces the spotlight with glamor and ambition, old enemies resurface, silent investors drop dead, and secrets threaten to unravel everything she's rebuilt. Even Donovan, her best friend and confidante, begins to question how far she’s willing to go.

When Callie turns to cartel kingpin Emilio Vega for protection, the game escalates into deadly territory. Lila has one final move left—and it may cost Callie more than just her crown.

In a world where power is currency and loyalty is a liability, Callie’s Cartel is a high-stakes battle for love, legacy, and domination. Because in this city… only one queen can reign.

I KNEW WHERE THIS WAS GOING 15% INTO THE STORY!

I hate when I can predict the outcome of a story especially when its a series! 1st Cartier needs to be taught a lesson. You can't play with people's heart then when you're done with them discard them like they're trash! Yes Callie is emotional, yes she's is obsessed with him but, she helped him build his Company for that alone he owes her respect! I must say. I love this Author but, this is the 1st series of yours that I skipped to the middle then close to the end. I have no words for Lila, wait! Yes I do. She's smart and clever! A Mastermind! So is Callie! But, enter Serenity who comes with Ulterior motives as well, and now you're trying to paint her as the ULTIMATE Mastermind! For real?! Over Callie and Lila combined?! Why, because she's who Cartier wants now so, she has to be the Victor? Callie deserves a Happy Ending! Oh, and you're taking her best friend from her too really?! So, now everybody is team Serenity over people that has been friends for years? You know what, I digress.

CR ENTERPRISES!!!!

From book 1 was a straight up set up from all directions......Lila, Callie, Bradley, Emilio, Cartier, now Serenity, Audra, last but not least was Donovan. I can't complain about how well they played their parts to get what they wanted or needed at time. But when fire clear out who will still standing with their smoking guns🔥🔥🔥GREAT READ 🔥🔥🔥
