After accepting mob boss Raine Mathison’s life-altering proposal and spending an unforgettable night of passion with him, Solana Trent has woken alone to a new, daunting state of normal: she must maintain her career as the headlining New York Times journalist in organized crime, while secretly serve as the propagandist for Raine’s infamous crime syndicate.
Frustrated by a growing list of unknowns and anxious in the face of an uncertain future, Solana begins the delicate balancing act of living her double life, and she quickly discovers an unexpected ally in her mentor - Hunter Cavenastri, the syndicate’s second-in-command and Raine’s own consigliere.
Presenting himself to her as a resource for guidance, Cavi works to gain Solana’s trust as she confronts the challenges of her new office, but unbeknownst to her and Raine, the underboss has a sinister agenda of his own. Consumed by his jealousy and his lust for vengeance, Cavi's every word and deed aims to destroy Solana and Raine’s relationship as part of his cold, cruel plan to reclaim his birthright.
I was born to write. At ten years old, I was penning 30-page princess stories in long hand, to the delight of my parents and sisters. Adolescence brought murder mysteries and tales of romance that left my friends begging me for more – horrid penmanship be damned. This trilogy began when I was sixteen, pink ink on pink paper, but it took a back seat to my BA from Wellesley in Classics and Astronomy, and then suffered a full-on demotion to the trunk while I earned my joint MS/MBA from Northeastern.
While my professional career flourished, my incensed characters haunted me. I caved to them in March of 2011 and they subsequently took over my life – much to my abandoned husband’s chagrin and my friends’ bubbling excitement. Accountant by day, novelist by night, I’ve breathed new life into my long-neglected story, and the labor of love has brought me joy unparalleled. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it.
