They say a man's power is measured by the smile on his woman's face.
But when that man is connected to the mob, his woman ain't smiling.
And his power is forged from his sins.
I'm a product of the mean streets of Brooklyn, transplanted in Miami.
The right hand to the heir of the Pastore Crime family.
She's a beautiful-but-tormented soul shining a light in the darkness of my life.
I can't resist her.
But I can't have her either.
For us it's til death do we part.

*Connected is a prequel to The Pastore Crime Family Series and was previously published as part of the Guns Blazing Anthology*
