A Second Chance is all about how one guy turns his messed-up life around. Trevor Ballard didn't have the best start-his dad left, and his mom basically checked out, spending her days drinking. By the time he was a teenager, he was caught up in gang life, doing whatever it took to survive.
Everything comes crashing down when a robbery goes wrong, and Trevor finds himself facing serious jail time. But instead of locking him up, the judge gives him a shot at rehab. That's where he meets Carter, a tough ex-gang member who pushes Trevor to face his mistakes and do the hard work to change. It's not easy-his old life keeps pulling him back, and he feels lost at times. But with Carter's tough love and the support of Serena, a social worker who believes in him, Trevor starts to see a better future. He finds a passion for carpentry, builds real friendships, and even falls in love. Eventually, Trevor decides to use his story to help others. He and Carter start a program to mentor kids like him, showing them they don't have to stay stuck in the life they were born into. This story is about second chances, finding your people, and realizing it's never too late to change.

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE)
*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
