This definitely isn't your or my typical Thomas Shelby Fanfic. This is a story in which Tommy needs to take reign or care of the female protagonist - Jade Verga. This is a story of needing and not just about romance and kisses. Which is something we all crave at the end of the day. It's a stripped down story, one that is raw with truth and angst. That selfish need is a sense of belonging at the end of the day. It's needless to say, this story means a whole lot to me.

~ALERT~ This book is apart of the Double Standards Series. You must read Double Standards to understand this story. It will be fun Ivy, they said. You deserve a night out, they said. What they failed to mention was that I would nearly loose my life by some dark stranger covered in tattoos. My fiancee recently jipped me at the alter and my friends insisted a night out on the town was just what I needed to make a comeback. After hour's of their badgering, I pulled myself from my tissue covered bed and allowed them to doll me up. Then it all happened to quickly. One moment I was sipping my drink and feeling fine as rain for the first time since my fiancee ran out on me. The next moment gunshots rang out through the club and everyone scattered including my friend's. As for me, I dove under the table. Soon a male's feet came into view and I don't know why, but I slid my hand from under the table and snapped a picture with my phone. Suddenly the table flipped away and eye's that had no soul bore into mine. Samantha's gone but I live with her everyday. I carry her everywhere. I'll never love another, in fact I don't even want to. It's been two year's now since she was taken from me and the pain only grows. In those two year's I've built an Empire like none other, an Empire so strong, so powerful even the God's fear it. I'm known now not as Demarco Harper but the man with no heart, and for two very strong reasons. One being I show no mercy, two being I kill all my victims by the heart. No one needs a heart. A heart will get you killed. That's my last thought as I enter my enemies night club to collect a few more hearts.

This is the third book in the Harper mafia series. If you haven't already, I suggest reading the first two before starting this one (Double Standards and Double or Nothing), so you can better understand the characters as well as the twists and turns. My name is Ari Tomini. I grew up under the command of the Harper Empire. My father, Travez, was one of the many men London Harper controlled. As for my mother, she was breed to stand by her man and for the life, just as I have. I've been in Italy for some years now receiving the best education but now I'm 18 and returning home to claim what and always has been mine. Yes Demarcus Harper belongs to me and no one can change that. I will be the queen.

This is the sequal to Double Standards. If you haven't read it yet please do before you read this! "I'm telling you now that your cherry belongs to me, but I'm also telling you that one day you'll love me like I love you, but I won't give a damn". That was Cole's famous last words to me. How true they was. "I don't get in a car with a stranger" I'm hardly a stranger cupcake". "You chased me through the woods" "I had to because you ran and you took something of mine" A tale of love, betrayal, murder, and a king in the making. Meet London and Laney Harper's children.

Part Four in the Harper Trilogy. If you haven't already, I suggest reading Double Standards first followed by Double Or Nothing, then Double Betrayal before starting Double DEUCES. Join the Harper's once again as they face betrayal, love, and murder. 🚫 Warning: This is a dark romance. Intended for mature reader's.

He stared down at me with those cold dark eye's. Backing me up against the wall with his hand pressed against my throat he growled out. "Do you know the ways I could kill you? The things I could do to you babydoll? I'll ask you again, what did you see in my black bag?" Through tears, I stammered out. "N-nnothing. I saw nothing" Giving me that malicious smile of his, he spoke in that deep Italian accented voice "Good answer Laney, good answer".
