Xavier Maldonado has worked as one of the most highly known hitmen in the United States, and a little more so in the state of Texas. He could easily be regarded as highly respected as well, except today, very few people respect him. After realizing his dislike of the murder lifestyle, and discovering how easy it is to pocket a client's money, Xavier has been living lavishly. However, this doesn't come without a few repercussions. Xavier's clients are now furious, and several have hired other hitmen to take him down. After having dealt with over 200 clients, Xavier can't tell who is friendly and who is out to kill him. Can he trust the few he's opened up to, even if they don't know the whole truth?

The Superior Rebirth: A Hero's Awakening
In an industrial-era world where fate is merciless and heroes are manufactured, Xavier Ivanovich is a boy who was never meant to live. Once a subject of an inhuman experiment, he is saved only by the kindness of a scientist whose compassion is repaid with death. Left behind, Xavier grows up chasing an ideal of heroism he does not yet understand. The Superior Rebirth is a slow-burn epic fantasy that explores sacrifice, identity, and the cost of choosing others over oneself - in a world where even good intentions can lead to ruin. This is not a story about becoming powerful. It is a story about becoming human.

"Here's another one of your tropes: I catch you, I kiss you." "That's not the trope! It's supposed to be 'I catch you, I...'" Elisa cleared her throat and paraphrased, "'...ravish you.'" The corner of his lip quirked. "'Ravish'?" "Shut up, I'm just correcting you." He stepped closer, his eyes burning into her. "Do you want an upgrade? Because I'm down for that if you are." "I don't even want the kiss!" His eyes widened. "Then...run."Complete

Star Stuck (#Wattys2015)

He's the guy in the movies and tv shows. Everyone worships the ground he walks on. Everyone knows him. Except for Kylie.

But as Kylie's fame increases, who's the one that's star struck? Or more importantly, star stuck?Complete

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but.
