Carter
bought his way out of the mafia to protect Emma, but when an old
ghost returns to the Mauricio Family, a chain of events starts that
can harm everyone. While Carter must decide to return to the Mauricio
Family or not, a face that is oddly familiar to Emma comes into her
life. She’s given the chance to discover more about her family
while tensions between the rivaling Mauricio and Bertal Family comes
to a head in an explosive way. The truce is officially off, and when
the two worlds collide, Carter’s decision is made.
He didn’t start this war, but he will end it.
He will do anything to protect Emma.
He didn’t start this war, but he will end it.

Excerpt
We’d
been learning how to shoot for a couple of months now. It had been
Theresa’s idea, and these sessions had started to replace our wine
nights. It had also been her idea to have Noah be our instructor.
Carter was the better shot, but Theresa still liked to keep her
distance from him. He still made her uneasy.
Amanda
had asked her about it one night at their apartment when I’d gone
to the bathroom. I stopped in the hallway when I’d overheard
Theresa explain, “It’s not that I don’t like him. It’s
just…he’s a killer, Amanda. He’s dangerous. I know he loves
her, and I know if anyone is going to protect her, it will be him,
but…” She’d sighed. “I don’t know. He’s known as the Cold
Killer. It’s hard to get past that, even though I know Emma loves
him so much.”
Amanda
had asked, “Are you worried for her?”
“No.”
She’d hesitated. “I mean…maybe. I’m not worried for her from
him, but because of him. He’s with the mafia.”
“She
said he’s out.”
“Yeah,
well, is anyone really out?”
Amanda
had replied, “She wasn’t in trouble before because of him. Emma
and I did that all on our own.”
“I
know. I really do, and I feel bad, but I’m just on edge with the
guy. He’s deadly. Can’t you see it in his eyes?” Theresa got up
for the kitchen. “I need a refill. You?”
I
had melted backward, back into the bathroom. When she’d crossed the
hallway, the bathroom door was shut.
Glancing
over at her now, I remembered how her smiles had seemed more forced
that night, her laughter a little louder, and the secretive looks
she’d sent Amanda’s way. They were roommates. They were going to
talk about me. That was obvious, but I’d been hurt, though I knew I
shouldn’t have been.
Theresa
worried about me. I tried to keep telling myself it was as simple as
that.
I
tried.
Teaser Quotes
A
tingle started in the base of my stomach, and it rose up, spreading
through my body, warming me as it went, until I was almost salivating
for him. When I saw him, I needed to touch him. It had been like this
for a year, and I never wanted it to end. I always wanted to thirst
for him.
He
murmured against my skin, “Why is it that your presence can calm
me? Your touch can make me alive, and one little sigh from you makes
me want to sleep for days in your embrace?”
I
smiled, moving to press a kiss to his ear. “Because you love me.”
Pulling
me back into his arms, he nudged my legs farther apart, moving
closer, and pressed his lips to the underside of my jaw. He
whispered, “Never.” Another kiss to the corner of my lips.
“Ever.” A third kiss, his lips resting atop mine and he murmured,
“I promise. Nothing will ever happen to you.”
“Because
you need to understand. It’s time you know more. You’re mine,
Emma. My first allegiance is to you. Things are going to happen now,
and I can’t control them. The Mauricio family has always followed
me."
Suddenly
I realized—he was going back in. A tear formed in my eye, and I
ignored it. This was what he was telling me. I swallowed over a lump.
“What happens now?”
He
didn’t answer at first. Then he let out a soft breath of air and
turned, his eyes pained. He said one word: “War.”
I
closed my eyes and just felt her. She trailed a hand down my face,
tracing my lips. That small touch, so gentle, so loving. That was
Emma.
No
other woman made me feel like this. It was her, only her. Opening my
eyes, I found her watching me and smiling as her chest heaved for
air.
"I
love you," she murmured.
Goddamn.
I kissed her and whispered against her lips, "I love you too."
I
closed my eyes and held the man I loved. Resting my forehead to his,
I placed my arms on his shoulders as he held my hips. His thumbs
rubbed back and forth. This. Right here. He was the most powerful man
I knew, and he was all mine.
Author Information
I
didn't begin writing until after undergraduate college. There'd been
storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a
boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the
computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I
needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can't
blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It
was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was
anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work
until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel.
I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile!
And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories
