You will follow these young adults as they navigate the dangerous world they were born or fell into. Often, they are thrust into dangerous situations or forced to perform duties expected of the heirs to a corrupt empire.Cosa Nostra is how the Sicilian Mafia refer to themselves - loosely translates into Our Thing. OUR THING is book two; however, can be read without book one! If you don't like violence or streamy scenes, then this isn’t the read for you! LOTS of streamy scenes. Dark moments. I expect nail biting, teeth chattering, sobs bursting and swooning awws. ♥Introducing: the Butcher boys. The heirs of Luca Butcher, a legendary boxer and the Mafia Boss's right-hand man. The brothers are notorious. Violence and intimidation are a burden and privilege of their last name. Book two, three and four follow these brothers as they fall in love and into danger. Maybe they will fight for their rights to have a normal existence. . . maybe they will dive in headfirst and enjoy the intoxication power brings. . . less
