Enforcer for the Sanitini family, the cowboy has known only violence, pain and death. But for a select few he calls “brothers”, Clint feels no love for mankind and believes that “an eye for an eye” is the only true means of retribution. ‘Let the punishment fit the crime’ is his philosophy when dealing with his enemies. But upon meeting Axel Anders, a frightened and lost young man with a stained soul of his own, Clint’s hard-as-steel exterior begins to crack as he finds himself intrigued by the effect this vulnerable “kid” has on him. Yet when Axel’s presence begins to disturb the ground beneath which Clint’s darkest, most painful memories have lain dormant for over two decades, he begins to understand that the young man poses a greater threat than any flesh and blood enemy –and knows he must put the kid out of his life, or face a resurrected past that he believed to be dead and buried. But walking away from Axel and not looking back –proves to be a much greater challenge than he is prepared for. less

Clint and Axel’s new and vulnerable relationship is shaken to the core as Clint blames himself for Shay and Cory’s fate. Struck with the reality of his mistakes, Clint must make a choice that threatens to devastate Axel’s heart.

Axel didn’t know life could be a sweet mixture of loving family and passionate romance. Though rough around the edges and sporting a gruff exterior, Clint – “the cowboy" –has proven to be much more than meets the eye. Wrapped in his arms, Axel is privy to a side of the cowboy that few –if any –have ever glimpsed, and he can no longer deny that he is falling in love with the man... moreAxel didn’t know life could be a sweet mixture of loving family and passionate romance. Though rough around the edges and sporting a gruff exterior, Clint – “the cowboy" –has proven to be much more than meets the eye. Wrapped in his arms, Axel is privy to a side of the cowboy that few –if any –have ever glimpsed, and he can no longer deny that he is falling in love with the man. But the fateful call that pulled Clint from his arms in the middle of the night has turned into a bad omen of broken hearts and sinister villains. As Axel struggles to rise above the crushing blow to his heart, Clint is faced with two enemies –the faceless man intent on destroying all that he loves…and his own heart that refuses to let Axel go. Warning: Although this series is a romance, it is also about Gangsters and contains strong adult content. I won't apologize for my gangsters acting like gangsters and exacting "gangster justice". Though the romance in this series is beautiful, if you are looking for strictly "fluff" romance, you won't find it here. less
