Surviving Absolution
Author's The Surviving Absolution box set contains FOUR full-length mafia romance books with some dark themes, violence, and intense sensual scenes.
Wine & Whiskey Duet - Nick & Shae
Can a sheltered pop star tame this mob boss? Or will he destroy more than just her career? No longer controlled by her mother, manager, or former fiancé, pop star Shae Armstrong steps out on her own and into the path of Nick DeMarco, a wealthy investor with alleged ties to organized crime and real childhood scars to overcome. She wants to take it slow. He needs her now - in his life and in his bed. No one thinks they belong together, including them. But they just can't seem to let each other go. Nick’s enemies threaten her career, her friendships, even her sanity. Now that she’s found her own voice, can Shae survive living in Nick’s world? Truth About Tequila Duet - Max & Gina
Gina’s alone – exactly how she likes it. No one to tell her it’s not her fault, to stop blaming herself. Free from the pitiful looks and whispered condolences. Nothing to remind her of everything she wants to forget. Until Max. The sexy diversion who lives in the same dangerous world and likes her bed as much as she does. Too bad he loves someone else. Who happens to be her new best friend and his boss’s wife. She might as well close her legs because he’s never going to open his heart. A simple promise. Living in a dark existence of death, greed, and deviance, Max swore to protect an innocent woman’s life because he didn’t have anything in his own worth saving. Until Gina. The seductive mafia princess who hides more secrets than he ever imagined. Lying to herself and everyone else that goodness no longer exists behind her broken spirit. He’ll sacrifice everything to prove she’s not second choice. Even if her lies destroy their only chance for happiness.

Box Sets are my absolute favorite because you get so many great stories in one place! This dark, Mafia Romance is incredible and I loved each and every story!
Wine & Whiskey
Where do I start?! This story is about Nick, a somewhat shady businessman who meets a pop princess by the name of Shae at a gym. The minute he sees her, he is enamored and wants to know more about her. Needless to say Shae is reluctant to have a relationship and Nick will do anything to get the girl. Throughout the book they hit many obstacles to pull them apart. But do they survive? Can she be with someone who isn’t always forthcoming? You will need to read this book to find out. I truly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
Wine & Whiskey : Everything for You
After reading Wine & Whiskey, I couldn’t wait to read this book. The story of Nick and Shae just enthralls me. The chemistry and love between these characters is off the charts. The story continues with both of them still in love, but so many obstacles attempt to derail them. Happy news takes a turn to sadness, but does it really? This story has it all, love, anger, kidnapping, attempted murder, sadness, happiness and an undying love between two people. My emotions are all over the place! Does true love prevail? Do they get their happily ever after? You will need to read this to find out.
The Truth About Tequila
Wow! What a story! My heart is still racing! The story of Max, bodyguard to Shae, his best friend, Nick’s wife, and Gina, Nick’s partners daughter, is incredible. The chemistry between Max and Gina is thru the roof! Max and Gina come to an arrangement of sorts, and neither wants a relationship, but do they end up together? Everything in my heart says they need to be together, but so many obstacles get in their way. Can they overcome those obstacles? Truly an enjoyable read!
The Truth About Tequila: Believe In Me
My heart is still beating hard! What an emotional rollercoaster this book put me thru. After reading The Truth About Tequila and the cliffhanger that left me with, I had to read this book for the conclusion. The story of Max and Gina continues along with Nick and Shae and each of their struggles as a couple. These power couples are unreal. So many times while reading, I either held my breath or wanted to throw my Kindle. For me to feel such emotions, shows what a spectacular book this is. I will not give any spoilers away. All I will say, is please read this book, it is truly amazing!!
