He stole my heart out of revenge. There was one thing I always thought was mine to give: my heart. I never imagined a marauder would steal it out of vengeance—vengeance that had nothing to do with me. His greatest enemy happened to be the man in love with me, and somehow I became nothing but a pawn. I was no damsel in distress, though. More like an archer, ready to battle. And my target? The … ready to battle.
And my target? The marauder himself.
Cashel “Cash” Kelly.
Kelly might have been as gorgeous as he was ruthless, but he had no idea what I’d do to steal it back. Or better yet, get even.
She was determined to keep what was mine.
They say hearts can’t be stolen unless they’re willing to be. Tell that to the man everyone on the streets called “the marauder.”
Me.
Because by the time I was through, Keely Ryan’s heart would be mine. And my enemy’s? As good as broken. Trouble was, the archer was precise with her aim, and her arrow was pointed at my heart.
Marauder is the second of three books set in the savage world of the Gangsters of New York series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but they are all based in the same world.

Not sure which alpha bad boy I loved more, Mac or Cash. Book 2 was amazing as was the first. Keely was the perfect match for Cash, she was sassy, strong willed and determined. Holy her sassy attitude, made me have a girl crush on her. These two were so melted the pages of my e-reader, they were they got together. Loved how this book overlapped with the first book, can’t wait for the next read!
Marauder is a second installment of Gangster of New York series by Bella Di Corte and technically can be read as a stand-alone but I strongly recommend picking Machiavellian(first installment) first and continue with Marauder. We had glimpses of this upcoming, unusual couple in Machiavellian and to be honest as soon as Kee and Cash were introduced I was immediately hooked and intrigued by their chemistry!
Their relationship was a battle of wills right from the start, I do love my female characters to be fierce and strong, Kee proved to be all of these things and even more. Her relationship with Cash was a complete madness in a good way, you have no idea how I enjoyed this couple, their fights, their special moments, their chemistry. Cash was a perfect combination of good and bad, evil and kindness, I fell in love with him momentarily and never looked back;))) To be honest, their love story reminded me of a cat on a hot tin roof;))) Who’s gonna win a cat or a hot roof?) Bella Di Corte once again created such a perfect background and atmosphere for this book. The writing style was flawless, beautiful and unique, Bella somehow manages to pick all the right words to break and put our hearts together once again.
Marauder is not your typical mafia romance book, it’s unusual and fresh, antagonistic and passionate. My love for Bella’s books is endless and I cannot recommend her enough.
