Ambition has a cost. Loyalty has a price. Love changes everything.
Alano Carter knows what it means to be overlooked.
Growing up with little but hunger, instinct, and an unshakable determination to become something more, he learns early that opportunity isn't always offered—you take it. Late-night deals become real money. Real money becomes access. And access opens doors to fast cars, jewelry, exclusive rooms, powerful connections, and a lifestyle Alano once could only imagine.
But Alano doesn't simply want to look successful.
He wants an empire.
As his reputation grows, so do the risks. Every deal becomes larger. Every victory attracts more attention. And every person standing beside him must eventually decide whether loyalty has a limit.
Then Alano meets Daniique Mathieu.
Beautiful enough to stop him in his tracks but far too intelligent to be impressed by what he owns, Daniique is unlike the women accustomed to orbiting his increasingly luxurious world. She has ambitions of her own, and the more Alano discovers the woman beneath the beauty, the more dangerous his hunger becomes.
Because this time, he wants something money can't guarantee.
Her.
Their attraction becomes an intense, passionate relationship, and Daniique begins standing beside Alano as an equal while his ambitions reach another level. Together, they experience the intoxicating rewards of success—but money has a way of revealing people.
Small losses become questions.
Questions become suspicion.
And when betrayal comes from somewhere Alano trusted, everything he has built is suddenly at risk.
Money can build an empire.
Power can protect it.
But when love, loyalty, ambition, and betrayal collide, Alano Carter will discover that becoming powerful was never the hardest part.
The hardest part is surviving the price.
The Price of an Empire is Book One of the Carter Empire Novels, a sweeping saga of crime, passionate romance, luxury, ambition, family, power, and the legacy one man will spend a lifetime building.
Every empire starts somewhere. This one starts with hunger.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
