One Reason To Kill

2020

Hello, Broken.  Meet, Damaged.  You two have a lot in common. All I wanted was another Hannah. I never cared about the secret society, or the people here, or the money. I only pledged because of her. Because this was her life, and I wanted to be in it forever, but forever never came. So, I live in the past with the memories of the girl I loved. I chase her ghost until the bottom of every bottle and search for her embrace in every wrong girl. I drown out her voice with the beat of my drums and the roar of my bike, but it’s only temporary. When I am sober, the loss kills me. Until I met her. Lexington. Whoever said opposites attract got the fundamental laws of attraction mixed up. I wasn’t supposed to fall for the equally messed-up, anonymous one-night stand, but she understands my pain, and she saves me from it. And from the Mafia.

Two to the Back

2020

Murder. Betrayal. Revenge. Murder. That was the life I knew best. Born into a crime family that fed on the weaknesses of others, in order to gain the power attained today. Power that led me to kill for my father. My mafia family. The mafia family that ended up putting two shots in my back. Betrayal at it’s finest. Deception that brought me a better life. A life full of happiness with the love of my life. A life that was built on the foundation of lies. How could I possibly believe my new life wouldn’t crumble? The truth always finds it’s way out. That truth would become my revenge. My ruthlessness has risen to protect the life I’ve built. The women I love. And the family I don’t deserve. Vengeance will be mine by taking the one thing my assailant wants to control the most. His daughter. \*Although Two to the Back is a standalone with an HEA, it is only the SECOND book of a SIX-BOOK series. To get the full understanding of the plot and learn the full outcome of all characters, you should read the entire Escaping the Mafia series: One Reason to Kill Two to the Back Three Shots Left Four in One Five Wrong Moves Six Deadly Steps

Three More Shots

Her life is controlled by rules she didn’t make yet follows just the same. Obedient. Specific. Precise. Until me. Until I force her to break every rule keeping her from me.

Three More Shots is part of Escaping the Mafia, a six-book series with an ongoing story weaving throughout each book.

Five Wrong Moves

2020

I didn't ask for this life. It was handed to me. Like a gift, wrapped up with a blood red satin bow, it tempted me to pull the ribbon and peer inside the box. The gift came with a price—an expensive one. And once the lid was off, my life began to change. I made promises. Decisions. Moves in the direction I thought I needed to go in order to fulfill my word. Then she appeared, submerged in her own little world. Then, I made a new promise. I would keep her safe, except who was I to promise safety when I was the one destroying her world? Five Wrong Moves is part of Escaping the Mafia, a six-book series with an ongoing story weaving throughout each book. Five Wrong Moves is a complete story with an HEA that can be read as a stand alone, but the final book in the series is most satisfying if all books are read.

It was her husband that pushed her to share her voice, regardless of how erotic that voice would become. Live. Love. Laugh. A well-known mantra that has become her way of living. Live, by accepting the things you cannot change. Love, the ones closest to you as if there's no . tomorrow. Laugh, each day because sadness will get you no where!
