Santi Carrera is the war I never saw coming. A beautiful liar. Ruthless. Captivating… The architect of my own undoing.
He twisted my loyalty into an ultimatum. He chained me to his side with a vow of deceit. I should despise him for all he’s done to me… But behind those dark eyes, I see his pain. I recognize his conflict because it’s ours to share.
Now, I’m a pawn in a new war. Stolen by a stranger, I’ve been taken to a foreign land. My fate rests in the fragile truce between our families. They will tear this world apart to find me. But he’s the only man who can save me.
From Cora Kenborn and Catherine Wiltcher comes Corrupt Gods, a brand new arranged marriage mafia duet.
Synopsis:
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 1 of a new dark romance duet, releasing May 12th. Tainted Blood, book 2, releases June 9th. **Bad Blood is set in the Santiago and Carrera worlds, but it is not necessary to have read either trilogy beforehand.
My Review:
“The sins of the father are to be laid upon the children”
William Shakespeare
It was great to get back into the world of Dante Santiago. I haven’t read the Carrera Cartel Trilogy yet but I certainly am going to get acquainted with them before the next book in this duet.
I loved it. After the wedding day scene I couldn’t help but wonder how this was going to go.
Thalia Santiago the enemy to Santi Carrera or so they’re told throughout their lives. They’re enemies. The hate lust between these two is sizzling.
True to the theme of dark romance. The book covers violence and trafficking. So trigger warning ⚠️
If you’re into cartel romances or mafia romances the this is the book for you.
I can’t wait to see what happens next and whether a truce is called between these enemies or if a new war is started.

Meet Catherine Wiltcher I’m an International Bestselling Author of ten dark romance novels, a stage 4 cancer thriver, and a self-confessed alpha addict! My writing is best described as sinfully sexy, and my characters always fall hard and deep for one another. I live in the UK with my husband and two young daughters… But if I ever found myself stranded on a desert island, I’d like a large pink gin to keep me company. Cillian Murphy wouldn’t be a bad shout either… Movies & stuff… Before I started writing, I worked for seventeen years in the TV and movie industry. I started my career on the hit UK ITV show ‘Blind Date’ before moving into Music TV (MTV, T4) and then movie and drama production, with a brief (three year) flirtation at the BBC’s Natural History Unit thrown in there as well. I’ve been really lucky to travel all over the world with my former job, working with the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, MTV, Walden Media, Warner Bros & 20th Century Fox, amongst many others. All my experiences have helped shape my stories – from the amazing places I’ve visited to hanging out with some really fun A-listers.
