Early in life I was dealt a bad hand when my parents were murdered in our home. Things were only slightly easier when I landed a bartending job at a posh club in New York City right out of foster care, it wasn't a glamorous life but it allowed me to live comfortably. My world was turned on its head when I caught the eye of both a mafia boss and his half brothers. They gave me a type of security that I hadn't known in a very long time.
