The Family #2
Dominic
Sometime blood cannot be trusted.
Sometimes family means nothing.
Sometimes loyalty is tested.
Dominic thought that nothing could come between him and the family until one woman did.
As war looms near Dominic must make a choice protect the woman that he was supposed to kill or save the family that he swore to protect.
I didn’t think I knew what sorry was.
I wasn’t sorry when I said I killed my mother.
I wasn’t sorry when I said I killed my stepfather.
I wasn’t sorry when I said I killed the man that raped my baby sister.
I wasn’t sorry that I lit the match that burned their bodies.
I wasn’t sorry for the things that I did to make sure she survived.
I didn’t think anything could make me sorry but I was wrong.
One thing could make me sorry.
One person could make me sorry and she did.
My sister made me sorry that I protected her.
My sister made me sorry that I said I killed for her.
My sister made me sorry that she survived when my sister left me to die.
I was fourteen when I became a murderer.
I was fourteen when my sister turned me in.
I was eighteen when I was release.
Now I’m twenty one and I plan to do the one thing that will bring me peace.
excerpt.
As I walked into my father’s study, I knew I wasn’t going to like what he said. Life had been too good lately, and I knew the bad had to be coming. Stopping at the door, I put my mask on and knocked. At the sharp “Enter,” I walked in, taking in the room in a glance. My father sat behind his desk. Vincent, his consigliere, sat to his right, and my older brother, Lucca, stood off to the left. Moving to the chair in front of the desk, I sat, waiting to learn the reason for the summons. My father stared at me for a long moment. “I have a job for you, Dominic,” he began, causing me to sit a little straighter. F**k me; this was what I’d been waiting for: a way to prove my worth to the family. “Caterina Genovese, the sister of Enzo Genovese, will be attending college here, and I want you to befriend her,” he said, causing me to blink.
I knew damn well who Enzo Genovese was. If Lucca’s wife hadn’t killed him, I would have ripped the f**ker to shreds. Not only for what he had done to my sister Maria, but for what he had done to Lucca’s wife, Angie. Why the f**k would they want me to have anything to do with that family? “Why?” I asked, needing to know.
Instead of my father answering, Lucca did. “Some of our informants seem to believe that Enzo might have left her some tapes and damning information about Angie. Things that, if they are found out, will have a lot of families coming after her for revenge.” Looking at me hard, his voice turned to frost. “I won’t have my wife upset or worried about this. I don’t give a f**k what you have to do to the bitch or with her; find out what she knows and get the evidence.”
I nodded my head, not at all put off by Lucca’s tone because I knew how protective he was of his wife. Especially now that she was expecting their second child. The truth was, I was just as protective; she was another sister and mother to me wrapped up in one. There was nothing I wouldn’t do for the woman of my family, to make sure they were safe. So if this girl thought she was going to hurt my family, whatever happened to her, she deserved….

About the author
Angelique Jones
15 books81 followersI can’t help but smile when I read that someone was inspired by the voices in their head and how they just had to let them out. Yes I smile because once my husband read what the voices in my head were saying he started sleeping with one eye open and with one foot on the floor.

Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! What a fantabulous read!! Man! I love a good Mafia story!
Book two is Dom and Tori's story. The two lovebirds we're doomed from the start. Their families hate each other. Members of Tori's family used, abused, and tortured men and women including Dom's sister. So yeah the two did not meet in conventional way. Where there's Mafia, there's murder, mystery, intrigue, betrayal, you name it. Add in a war between the two families, a crazy as all get out evil twin sister, moles within the families, and brother against brother and father and you have a damn good book!
This book is not for the sensitive and may contain triggers.
This book is filled to the brim with action, super erotic sex, and super bossy women! This is the second story in The Family series. Book 1 - Angelica (Oh my gosh! Totally awesome read)
Book 2-Dominic (Super awesome sequel! Flows very well from book 1)
Book 3-Nero (2016 release)
5+ stars because this book has EVERYTHING!

An Amazing Emotional Experience!
Wow can I just say Wow! This book was even more than I expected and then some. Not since The Letter has a book had me in tears the way this one did, and very few can do that for me, laugh yes but to cry that is a bit harder to bring out of me. The twist about Caterina blew me away when I first found out about it. The story of Maria especially at the end of chapter 17 tore my heart to shreds and had tears streaming down my face. Jones really has written this beautifully. The dynamics of Family are so strong you just feel it jumping off the pages. But, what I find the most compelling is the force of nature that are the women in these Families. They are strong, capable,resourceful, intelligent, and love beyond measure. I highly recommend this series you will love them. Thanks Angelique Jones~Your Faithful Reader

I waited for Dominic to be released. I was not disappointed. I love Angelica and Lucca. Dominic is given an assignment that will turn his life upside down. He won't disappoint hi older brother Lucca or hi father. Tori is no what he expected. She was everything he always wanted before he one he wanted it. Her brother and grandma are very protective of her. Dom I definitely no who her brother Nero wants her with but the heart wants what it wants. Great book! Can't wait to read Nero.

Awesome! Book 2 Does Not Disappoint!
I did not Think that Dominic could be as good as book 1. It did not disappoint and leads the way for book 3, which I'm hoping will be Nero and Maria's story. There are so many twists and turns and betrayals that you do not see coming. Can't wait for book 3!
