Can second chances really exist for a bad
boy mobster and the only woman to ever steal his heart?
There’s a hit out on Cameron Shearer’s
life, his mafia ties dragging him down the path of darkness once more. After a
harrowing meeting, he discovers no one ever stays dead when you’re in the
mafia. Determined not to lose the only woman he’s loved, Cameron turns to the
Del Rossi mob for one last favor. Unfortunately for him, the ending may not be
as happy as he once hoped.
Joci Dorous has it all. She’s happy,
engaged, and just started her own law firm with her best friend. Everything
appears perfect, until she discovers a suspicious trail of money in her
business accounts and her once dutiful fiancé suddenly turns as shady as his
mob boss. When strangers clash amid mobs, Joci is left to decipher who her
heart truly belongs to.

The
group of police officers gathered beneath a cloudless sky. A cheerful summer
breeze drifted through the towering trees while children skipped rocks on
Gray’s Lake. Songbirds twittered joyous tunes in the exact park where
destruction had reigned in the cooler
months.
Squad
cars lined the beaten paths, silent after the honorary ceremony. The annual
police department luncheon was sprawled on picnic tables while the soft strains
of dueling guitars played under a sycamore tree.
Never
had Joci Dorous felt more Zen as she sat up against a tree trunk, her hands
weaving between the clipped waves of Officer Cameron Shearer’s hair. Her eyes
surveyed the happy troops of families while charcoal grills sputtered flames.
“Did you ever imagine anything like this for your life?” she
asked.
The man
with his head on her lap shifted to face her, but his view was obstructed by
her slightly swollen waist. Peeking over, Cameron pressed a kiss to the baby
bump as he replied, “No, my mind could never conjure anything so
glorious.”
Joci’s
face broke into a smile, and he leaned up on his elbow. “Are you happy then?”
he inquired, kissing the crease of her lips.
Catching
his face between her hands, she nodded vigorously. “Very much
so.”
The
instant she dropped his chin, Cameron sprang into action and crawled up beside
her. Sweat lined his brow as he dug a hand into his back pocket. He knelt
before her with a small black box in his
grip.
Whispers
scattered through the crowd around them, but neither paid heed. The sun cast
perfect light through the tree’s leaves, enveloping them in eternal
bliss.
“How
about now, Joci?” Cameron said in a loud voice. The shimmer in his brown eyes
matched the one in hers. “We’re not well-traveled archaeologists, and I think
I’m a few years late, but I love you. If you will have me, I’ll spend every day
I live proving we were always meant to be
together.”
In
stunned silence, Joci gaped at the three-carat diamond, impressive for a modest
police officer. Without a doubt, his continued alliance with the Del Rossi mob
assisted him in the purchase. “Will you arrest me if I say no?” she replied,
with a smirk.
“Hell
yeah!” a heckler who sounded a lot like Quinn
called.
She swiveled
her gaze from the ring back to Cameron. The brilliant colors of his ornate
tattoos poked from beneath his police uniform, a perfect collision of worlds.
Her eyes darkened to green and a shy grin spread across her
cheeks.
“Then I
better say yes before another woman does,” she managed, her face blushing a
shade that would put a rose to shame.
Cameron
flashed a set of straight teeth and hauled her to him. “Good, because otherwise
I owe Quinn five hundred bucks.”
Gaping,
she swatted the back of his head, but he still possessively kissed her lips.
The group surrounding them clapped, a few whistled, and the women cooed over
the scene.
From
beneath the flowing branches of a weeping willow, the scarred onlooker had
another reaction. The one emotion that looked best on Joci Dorous was love.
Unfortunately for his mangled self, the same happy gleam in her ever-adapting
hazel eyes had shone on him not yet seven months
ago.
But now
he was back. Back for his wife and unborn child. Hell would come as a welcoming
embrace for Cameron Shearer when Adrian Petosa was finished with him. Taking
his life for a short amount of time was one thing, but after the grueling
battle Adrian fought the last few months, the mobster turned cop wouldn’t get
her eternal devotion too. Not while he breathed. Not while he watched their
every move.
