"I told you not to run," He growled, glaring down at me. I tried to beg but when I opened my mouth no words came out, just a whimper. Kneeling down on his haunches so he was face to face with me, his gaze consumed me. Pushing a blonde lock behind my ear he trailed the back of his fingers down my cheek and across my jaw. I was shaking under his touch, anticipating his next move. "You should have listened." ________________________________ Declan Byrne is the underboss for the Irish mafia in the city of Portland where a new and dangerous street drug called Z is taking over. The drug is marketed by the pharmaceutical companies as a miracle opioid yet its street version is causing its addicted users to hallucinate and see terrifying things, do horrific things. It just so happens that street Z is being distributed throughout the city by their rival crime family, the Russians. Declan is tasked with finding out how exactly the Russians are getting their hands on the drug so they can stop the flow of the drug that's destroying their city.
