Publisher's summary

Temptation has never been so dangerous.

A domineering force in Miami’s volatile criminal underworld, Brad Black is respected. Feared. His deadly accurate trigger finger and indestructible persona has earned him his intimidating reputation and, up until six months ago, hookers, drugs, and protecting the Black empire was the sum of his life’s purpose.

Until he saved her.

Wild, brave, and beautiful, Pearl Kennedy is Brad’s kryptonite. A distraction. A young distraction. But with enemies joining forces, coming at them with more force and less mercy than ever before, she’s also a deadly distraction. Focusing on the end game, finding and killing their enemies, has to remain his priority.

But Brad completely underestimates the power of his connection with Pearl. And he can’t shake the niggling feeling that there’s more to her than meets the eye.

Pearl Kennedy was saved from the clutches of human traffickers by one of the world’s most notorious criminals—Brad Black. Since being taken back to his family’s mansion in Miami, she’s felt safe and protected, despite Brad’s cold, brusque, and confusing treatment. He should disgust her—he’s flaunted his hedonistic tastes unapologetically.

But no matter how hard Pearl tries to fight it, she’s drawn to the lethal, handsome killer. Yet she knows she’s living on borrowed time, and to succumb to the attraction would be to expose herself and her secrets. And then it will be just a matter of who will kill her first. The monsters from her past. Or Brad Black.

The Laughter

This book was great. I laughed so much. Jodi, you did an excellent job bringing this series to an end. I fell in love with your writing with the Brit & I can't get enough. I can't wait for the next series. Please don't keep me waiting for too long.

The Brit. The Enigma and The American!!🇺🇸

What can I say I’ve read all of the books and I didn’t read them in order I had been looking at the Brit for about 2 years and never listened to it then one day I decided what the heck and boy was I blown away from the first book to the last this twisting tale of finding love and freedom in the mafia Danny,James and Brad and their leading ladies Rose,Beau and Pearl the trauma and tragedies they all had to endure to come out on top was insane I cried I laughed so hard this is one of the best book series I have ever read and I have read a lot from the beginning of each book to the end you’re not going to want to put it down the twists and turns and revelations that you are not going to see coming is going to leave you on the edge of your seat but I promise you they are worth every credit I hope you enjoy as much as I do and Jodi Ellen Malpas nobody does it like her This man series is up there too she never misses❤️❤️❤️❤️

Did not want series to end!

The Unlawful series was my absolute favorite of JEM! The best characters and narration (Shane East, is the gold standard of audible narration). Always enjoy the humor JEM brings to her dark characters and subjects. The American not only told Brad and Pearl’s story but also tied up all the men’s stories to the perfect ending. Sad these character’s stories are done. Definitely a series you will want to listen to again!

A Perfect Ending

JEM didn't disappoint. I'm sad for thus series to end. But what a way to go out. She gave fans of these men exactly what we wanted for the criminals we fell in love with. Excellent narration by all. I can see myself started from the beginning again soon.

My favorite characters

Sad this story is over. I really enjoyed the way all the characters were so well written. Each one had a great story and there was exciting twits throughout the book. Epic love and not stop drama. Highly recommend
