I didn’t swear vengeance on the Severino Family after Ellie’s death. I was only a child after all.
I didn’t swear vengeance when my father, a coward who wasn’t man enough to seek justice for her, drank himself into a divorce.
Going after them would be a death sentence.
I chose to live my life in the shadows, seeking revenge for others.
That was until I ran into the very man that took Ellie’s life.
I can still smell the smoke clinging to my skin from all the bridges I burned because of that man.
Walking away was no longer an option.
Killing him would be easy, but taking the woman that was promised to him seemed like a better wager.
Exacting retribution through her was the gamble I made.
Surviving her now seems impossible.
❤️Review❤️
Hollis is focused on ensuring that the people responsible for the pain of his past are dealt with and he doesn’t care if it costs him his life. He goes on one dangerous mission after another, and his latest mission brings Madelene into his life and despite the fact that she is supposed to be a means to an end he is in for a surprise.
Madeline finds herself in a desperate situation as she is forced to pay the price for her father’s actions. She never thought that being abducted might just be the best thing to ever happen to her.
Madeline’s strength and resilience shines through as she realizes that when it comes to her there is more to Hollis than the dark and dangerous man he appears to be. Suspense, surprises and steam as Madeline and Hollis take us on quite the ride.
I’m inching up on the BIG 4-0. The gray hairs are doubling what seems like daily, and the wrinkles and laugh lines are more pronounced than ever.
I have an amazing husband (Married just over 15 years.)
We have two boys we’re doing our best to raise as respectful gentleman.
I have a master’s degree in criminal justice which I used to work as a juvenile probation office until deciding to write full-time in June of 2019. So that means there’s usually always some criminal/law element to my novels.
If I’m not writing; I’m reading.
My favorite genres recently are bully/reverse harem and enemies to lovers. Maybe I’m reliving my traumatic teen years through the girls who actually end up with the boys. (Not that I would change my history since it’s gotten me exactly where I need to be!)
I love coffee. I miss carbs. Music is LIFE. I try not to be too serious.
