When Emelina De Sota returned to her hometown after her freshman year at college, she never expected anything like what was handed to her when she got there. All she wanted out of the summer was to relax and possibly spend some quality time with her brother. With a past long thought buried coming back to haunt her, Em has a lot on her plate. Not to mention her brother(the current leader of the Spanish Thorns) and a certain up and coming gangster that can't quite let her go no matter what he does. You'd think that would be enough for one girl to handle but when the person who recruited her brother into the Thorns comes back to cause a lot of trouble, Em finds herself in a rather precarious situation. She can either help her brother tear down the well-oiled machine he's built up around them both or let the past and a terrible loss pull her so far down that no one will be able to help her out of it. Book Two in the Spanish Thorns Series ~ * ~ It's true. When I started this story it was PG-13 but then I changed it to R after some reflection.Generally the book is going to be very mild but because of certain key scenes...the R rating was warranted. Not to mention the characters swear like sailors. :) Anyways, this story includes bloodloss, gunshots, Red Hot Chili Peppers, tears, bathroom breaks, Robert Frost, and some other random stuff.

" Xavier what the hell is going on? " Rayanne asked me as she walked out of the shower into the bedroom. " Another hit on the club shit's really taking off we need to get to the club house I want everyone on lock down. " I said as I quickly grabbed my guns from the house. This retaliation was more than a simple retaliation it was a stab at me and my family alone with my crew. I wasn't okay with any of this and I was about to show my ass to prove to everyone who they were really messing with. " Xavier I can't do this all the time! I have a life. I have deadlines I have a job and school ! " she said as she stood in the door way of the bathroom staring at me . " Rayanne don't argue with me just do what I say! " I snapped at her she was pushing it and I wasn't in the mood . " I'm pregnant . " I stopped dead in my tracks did I just hear what I thought ? Did she just say she was pregnant ? With my kids ? Really ? " What ? How ? " I asked as I put the bag of guns and bullets on the bed. " Are you really asking me how? Try all the sex we have . " She said as she gave a half smile. I couldn't help but laugh. As excited as I am how the hell was I to raise a kid in this life? I never thought I'd meet a girl or even get her pregnant . Fuck me this just made life complicated.
