Paige Acosta's world is flipped upside down when she learns her brother Greg, a undercover NYPD cop has died from an accidental heroine overdose. Paige knows this was no 'ACCIDENT'. Greg was obsessed with bringing down the two largest crime rings in New York. The Paine and Kramer families. Paige is already familiar with the head of the Paine family...he was married to her mother for five years. To avenge her brother's death, she drops everything and finds herself immersed in a world filled with tension, terror and the threat of death. Paige learns just how far she’ll go to discover who murdered her brother…and questions how far she’s willing to go with the son of the man who started it all. WARNING: House of Paine is Book 1 of 2 and is a 50k word romantic suspense novel. This is intended for 18+ due to abuse and sexual content. It is not intended for sensitive readers.

Now that Caine is dead, Paige barely makes it out alive. It left Caine’s sister, Kelsey looking for vengeance and a deeper crack in the already tenuous link between the Paine and Kramer families that could bring them all down. Knowing all of this, Damien chooses to help Paige over his own family. He calls on his Uncle Kevin who is more than willing to help, but it turns out that Kevin has secrets of his own. Damien’s brother is tempted by the promise of being in charge of the family if Jackson is taken out of the way and offers his help as well. With all of the players seemingly having their own agenda, the chances of everyone coming out alive are slim to none. It seems that Damien’s dreams for a “normal” life are stretching even further out of his reach. While on the run with Paige from the two largest and most powerful crime families in New York, Damien discovers a secret that changes everything he thought he ever knew about his life. It gave him that much more reason to want Jackson Paine dead. But first, he has to ask him for help. Paige has been kidnapped by the Kramer’s and the only way to get her back is to trust Jackson and his brother Alex. His faith in Alex is tenuous at best, but his faith in Jackson is non-existent. He knows that he’ll have to agree to whatever Jackson wants in order for him to agree to help…but Damien is willing to do whatever it takes to get Paige back alive, even if that means never seeing her again after it’s all over.
