As Lee struggles to pick up the pieces of what he once was while protecting his best friend at the same time, he is forced to reminisce who Jaime was before things went bad. What do you do when the person you love the most goes dark? Who do you save: yourself, or him?

Resisting Him (Book 3 - SAMPLE)
(SAMPLE ONLY - FULL BOOK COMING SOON TO AMAZON!) Jay never let anyone get close, save the few he called family but even they could only get so far. Relationships were messy, unpredictable, and sometimes dangerous, but sex was simple, easy. He wasn't the kind of man anyone wanted to spend forever with, not with blood on his hands and madness in his head. Killers who loved their trade weren't made to build beautiful things, only to destroy them. So he built walls before he was even old enough to fully need them, and it kept people safe. Jay wanted no one... until three years ago when someone silently slipped inside. Alex West was impulsive and reckless, often coming off as immature and frequently obnoxious. As a Made man in the Crowe Family, he had responsibilities, but life had taught him to enjoy the moments he had been given, even when he took those moments from others. He lived for pleasure, so when the Jester came into his life three years ago, stoic and cold, barking orders and thriving on inflicted pain, he was intrigued. Jay pushed him away for three years, but Alex steadily pushed back and eventually even distractions stopped working. Then one distraction proves to have far reaching consequences, but this might be the one thing that finally makes Alex stop pushing and walk away. With a war brewing and a target on his back, can Alex stomach the painful reminders of his past when he's with Jay, or will Jay only find emptiness when he reaches for the one person who finally found him?Complete
