Torn

Rate this book
Take a peek at a life that, like so many, was torn into choosing the lesser of two evils.
Meet Tony, a 32-year-old Real Estate broker by day and an exotic male dancer by night. He had it all: respect, looks, charm, wit and a body that women caressed every night. However he always seemed to be money short at the end of the month. One day after meeting George, a prospective club investor, he made Tony an offer he couldn't refuse. The two immediately became inseparable. In a journey of sex, drugs, betrayal and murder, Tony gets caught up in a love triangle between Kristina and Inez, the two loves of his life, and making a decision between prison or his best friend.
Will Tony choose Kristina or will he choose Inez?
Will he choose prison or will he throw his friend out to the wolves?
Read on and find out how a man who had it all was torn into pieces.
