Part of Series

This book is part of a series. It contains homosexual relations, violence and coarse language. It is preceded by Russian Roulette. The wildly extended Santorno-Youngblood family is facing its biggest challenge ever. Not drug traffickers. Not power-hungry mob bosses. Not even murderous assassins. They’re dealing with… Teenagers. All those sweet, cute, cuddly, dependent toddlers have journeyed through childhood to become moody, cute, hormonal, independent teens. Longing looks. The dreaded ‘friends zone.’ Jealousy greener than Theo’s eyes. Stefan loves Phoebe, but can she trust him? Nico loves Tanner but is he too old for him? Hunter has feelings for his best friend Jensen but is his buddy even gay? Nikolai loves Colin and he’s not worried at all because he’ll get to kick some ass before he’s old enough to be legally responsible for the carnage. Thank goodness the dads have each other to lean on and vent with, and bad guys to kill (we lied about no traffickers and mob bosses). They made a pact long ago that what their kids did would not affect their friendships—but they might well drown in the tears that are shed. Take teen drama, inconvenient bodily responses, confused hearts, and insecurity; mix in skanky troublemakers, kidnappers, misunderstandings, and pride and you have one big, soapy, bubbling pot of what it means to grow up Santorno.

I have been blessed in this life to not only have parents that support me, but kids that do as well. I grew up in a loving but "Old School" French household. My parents worked for the airlines (TWA) so I was able to see a lot of Europe as a kid. I moved to Seattle Washington at the age of 22 and stayed there for twelve years before moving to Alaska for a little over two. Fairbanks, AK was one hell of an experience and I wouldn't hesitate to go back! I spent a little over a year in South Carolina before moving back to Arizona. I then left for Kansas for five years and now reside in Arizona. I've been connected to the military in one way or another for over half my life and wouldn't change a thing about it. Writing has become my full time job and I've never been so happy doing a job I love and being able to do it in my jammies. I plan on writing until I dry up and die. Hopefully, that won't happen soon!
