'The front door smashes open, and I hear three sets of angry, loud footsteps penetrate the first level of the apartment. "Oh, darling Amity, where are you, my zucchero?" Stefano shouts in a sing-song voice. Obviously, I don't respond, leaning my body further against the balcony and holding a hand over my mouth, so I don't make a noise. "You're not in trouble, succhiare il miele," Xavier shouts out. "Well, not if you come out now..." I keep inching closer to the edge, less than a step from falling eleven meters and cracking my head open to die.' * Amity Gregor is a regular teenage girl, struggling with her grades and fawning over boys. But she has a dark past. At five years old, she was placed in her mother's custody and separated from her six brothers and father. She slowly forgot about them and was taught by her mother that they were terrible people. Ten years pass, and Amity's reunited with her family. But she's not the bubbly little girl she used to be, and they're not her innocent big brothers. Instead, they're hardened mafia men, who Amity's mother was desperate to keep her away from. As secrets unravel, and trust is built there's only one way through the mess called life. Together. (PREVIOUSLY UPLOADED ON MY OTHER ACCOUNT BEFORE I DELETED IT - THE STORY REACHED OVER 100K.)

Gilliam Tomlinson had had to fight for every ounce of respect he had ever managed to gain from the Texas Rangers. His late father had been less than an honorable man and it seemed that despite Gilliam's attempts to distance himself from that memory, he carried his deceased father's legacy along with him like a heavy wool cloak he never could quite shake off. Then the chance he'd been waiting for fell right into his lap. A gang led by a mysterious outlaw who had so far evaded any notice had been wreaking havoc and stealing cattle from the rich land barons of Texas and they wanted it stopped. Gilliam's job was simple: infiltrate the gang, learn about their leader, gain their trust and then bring them down. It should have been easy. It should have been a simple, cut and dry operation... but Gilliam had never imagined the gang leader would have such fiery green eyes and he'd certainly never imagined the leader would be a man named Jeb who made his body heat up and his brain shut down. What follows is a struggle unlike any Gilliam has ever known. Law, order and duty tell him what he was supposed to do but there was something about that man, something about that life, something about the way he felt among those people that just felt right. Now he faced a choice. Listen to the code of a lawman or the heart of an outlaw.
