candle to Arizona in the middle of the summer.

over after his boss and mentor dies. He’s set on revenge against
the people responsible for Victor’s death and he’ll stop at
nothing to get what he wants.

deadly game and her brother plans to sell her to the highest bidder
as soon as possible.
When Melina is kidnapped by Austin, her worst nightmares are realized.

story while Austin works on mutilating her skin with a tattoo machine.
When Moon, the crime lord of Arizona steps into help, Melina might find
her salvation. The clock is ticking and her brother now wants her
dead. Austin isn’t a man for games but he does want Melina at any
cost, even his life.

He’s
gorgeous in an underwear model sort of way. At least until you reach his eyes.
When the light reflected off them, I almost stepped back. They’re pale green,
almost startling if you don’t look into their cold, lifeless depths. Pools of
darkness lurked in the round orbs, so strong, it scared the fucking shit out of
me. I’ve grown up around deadly men, but none left me trembling and wanting to
escape the intensity of just a gaze.
I
make a frustrated sound deep in my throat. I need to escape so I never have to
look into his eyes again. Pounding the metal loop in the floor with my foot
only adds to the raw flesh already there. He’s going to kill me for something
my brother did. The worthless, evil, blood kin I’ve dreamed of killing for
years. If only I were stronger emotionally and physically. Or maybe not. Given
the chance, I’ll kill the man holding me.
I’ve
thought about my own death so many times through the years I lost track. I
shouldn’t be resisting the inevitable end to my life. My brother’s plans for me
would pale in comparison. He’s told me often enough that I’m nothing more than
a breeding machine to form better alliances.
Being given to
one of the men my brother makes alliances with would be a nightmare worse than
death and it’s all I’ve had to look forward to since my sixteenth birthday. That’s when the earnest threats began. To die for my brother’s sins is an ironic twist to a fucked up life I wish I couldn’t claim.
