My name is Antonio Valentinetti.
I am the youngest brother of the Valentinetti family.
As the family’s attorney I live my life by a code.
Protect the innocent, punish the guilty and never go against the family.
When the truth of what my family is really facing comes out, my brother Giovanni orders the entire family to the Guardian’s private island.
Only that’s one order I refuse to obey.
Staying in Chicago for something more precious to me than my own family, I defy my big brother.
With no other option, I come clean and brace myself for the fallout.
When my personal life collides with the dangers of my family life, I do the unthinkable.
Refusing to back down, I give my brother Giovanni an ultimatum.
He either agrees to my demands or I walk away forever.
As the evidence piles up, dangers lurk around every corner close to home and when I come face to face with the very evil my family been trying to bring down, I must rely on everything I was taught to stay alive.
I’m in the fight of my life.
Alone, I will face the horror of my family.
I am a Valentinetti.
Valentinetti’s don’t run.
We fight.

With the family ordered to move to the island for protection for what's to come Antonio knew it was time to tell his family about a part of his life he kept hidden, his wife Grace. What started between them years ago was still going strong only with one thing or another he never felt the time was right to introduce her to the family. But now troubles headed the families way, will they make it out alive? This story is a whirlwind of information, secrets, twists and betrayals, buckle up for more heart ache, love and loss with this next installment of the Valentinetti family

Antonio, the youngest Valentinetti sibling, family lawyer, with a secret he has kept from his family. As events unfold and menace is to close for comfort Antonio is forced to reveal his secret.

Another fantastic episode in the Valentinetti family crossover with Golden Skulls. Full of action, suspense and jeopardy interlinked later in the book with another crossover series The Sons of Hell.

The Valentinetti books are interlinked with the Golden Skulls series and I would strongly recommend reading them in order to fully absorb and enjoy the brilliance of these crossover series.

Family is everything

Tony was married to Gracie but his family doesn't know he is married. In Tony and Gracie's book the mystery takes another turn shocking this reader. People who you think you can trust turn into enemies. A man all about law will do anything to protect his wife and child. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

More convoluted.

This just gets more and more convoluted. So many players I need a graph to tell me who is related to whom. Good writing, feels like fiction coming true with what has transpired in the world lately. 🌎 is a sickeningly dangerous place.
