Four people. Four lives. Four jobs. They're all involved in a murder that has already been solved, and it's up to them to stop the count of dead bodies before one of them dies.
                                                                                      
                                                        ***

Following his suspension, a young and elite assassin who works for a clandestine government agency returns to his hometown. He notices things he doesn't want to see. His thirst for vengeance and hunger for murder fuels his new goal. Kill the person he once cared about.

Since his tragic past, an FBI agent turned drifter has been hell-bent on delivering justice mercilessly. The former intelligence agent travels to Santa Monica to right a wrong that may or may not be wrong.

An aspiring and young screenwriter who never gives up easily is falsely accused of a crime he did not commit, given the fact that all evidence pointed to the young man. There is no one he can turn to, no one who truly believes him. Until the day before his alleged arrest, he was given the option of going to jail or going with a stranger to prove his innocence.

A rookie FBI agent who was recently tasked with going into the field and finding the agency's most valuable asset becomes entangled in a mess after teaming up with the one person she was asked to find. It could be costly for her, putting her limbs, career, and possibly her life in jeopardy.

It all started with an indirect murder. Will these four be able to put a stop to it all before it spirals out of control and becomes a Killing Bind?

                                                          ***

At first I thought I'd pick something a bit out of my comfort zone (so.... NOT SciFi for once...) to expand my horizon, but when I saw a prompt about time travel I was immediately inspired. Please keep in mind, all of this is WIP! The title, cover, and some of the content might change at any time... I have an outline and I worked hard to come up with a compelling and consistent story line, but due to the nature of the story (timey whimey stuff!) I might have to revise things a few times as I write. I'm grateful for any feedback and I hope you enjoy :)

'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. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other. But can she learn how to truly care for one of the men she was taught to use? Can he control his jealousy long enough to take advantage of her tricks?
