Run with the big dogs, they said. It will be fun, they said.

Let me tell you riding in the back of a cop car is not as sexy as it sounds. Handcuffs are a lot more entertaining when you're getting laid. 

I ran with the big dogs. Now I'm caged with them. A textbook drug deal gone bad. Case closed. I've given up fighting, even if my folks haven't. 

It's like learning to walk again. Lebanon Correctional carries its own codes and laws of violence, bureaucracy, and extortion. Ones I'm hell-bent on avoiding.

Until my cellie teaches me to make a tattoo gun.

Colt Cross. First degree murder; fifteen-to-life. Brilliant and broken. Fighting for me inside the fence while my family rallies on the outside; proving beyond a reasonable doubt that nothing is as it seems.

Nathaniel Angelev is a gritty, battle-hardened mafia prince who seemingly has it all - money, power, and devastatingly good looks - even though he's sacrificed a lot along the way.

So Nate leaves his legacy of blood and gunpowder, determined to turn state's witness and dismantle the entire organization that has caused so much pain. And he finds himself headed straight into the arms of Marshal Reid Logan, a man secretly running from a past of his own. 
But the usual witness protection placements fail, over and over, and after an especially close call, Reid realizes that there must be someone inside of the Marshals Service working against them.
