BLURB:
Luke
Daniels has done his fair share of bad things. But when the FBI offers him a
deal in exchange for infiltrating the local Mafia’s infamous Costa Crew, Luke
has no choice but to accept the challenge.
Beautiful,
smart and tough, Sophia Costa wants out of the Crew. Appointed boss by her
brother after he’s sent to prison, she wants no part in the murder, deceit and
secrecy typical of Mafia life.
Just
as things heat up between Luke and Sophia, a mysterious hitman targets Sophia,
and Luke’s handler starts to wonder if Luke is up for the task.
As
the lovers face the possibility of losing everything in order to be together,
the line between loyalty and betrayal blur.

EXCERPT
“If they find out I’m a snitch, they’ll kill me,” Luke
Daniels warned Special Agent Troy Wilson.
A hole-in-the-wall diner at a rest stop in northeastern
Nevada was the last place Luke thought he’d ever find himself.
The agent’s expression remained stoic. “That’s a risk we’re
willing to take. It’s you who needs to decide if walking free from cyber-crime
and drug trafficking charges is worth it.
“Hmm. A max sentence of twenty years versus getting killed,”
Luke mused. “A lose-lose decision no matter what I decide.”
Luke relaxed his posture while rubbing the stubble on his
chin as the waitress set down two cups of black coffee in front of them; the
roasted nutty smell instantly perked him up. She said nothing, barely
acknowledged them with her heavily hooded eyes, as if she were doing her own
hard time working at a diner until the end of her pathetic life. This dusty
part of the world wasn’t trying to please anyone.
As he glanced around the empty run-down diner, Luke knew
he’d rather be here than in prison for most of his life. “Why not find some guy
who knows the mafia world?”
“If you’re smart enough to run a massive drug ring, we’re
pretty confident you can infiltrate the Costa Crew. We tend to select those
who’ve had some success in their criminal lives. You raked in quite a bit of
money during your stint, and you did it without losing any limbs. Resilience is
the key to this game, which I believe you possess.” He raised both palms in a
“hold off” gesture. “Or you can spend the rest of your life in prison. It’s
your choice.”
