Bethany is plunged into a life she never thought she would experience.

While trying to get revenge for what has happened in his past, will Anthony be able to protect the woman he unexpectedly fell in love with? Or will the danger of his life catch up to them, possibly putting Bethany in harm’s way?

Deadly Temptations

I stare at the ring as Bethany sleeps soundly next to me. She’s been out for a several hours now. The plane has been cleaned and the bodies dumped somewhere over the Gulf, had to take a detour but it was worth it. 


We are on our way to Hawaii. I doubt Bethany has ever been and I think a vacation will be good for all of us. Also, a wonderful place to propose to Bethany. I hope she says yes. What if she says no? What if after everything I’ve put her through, she wants to run? Do I let her? Would I have to worry about her spilling any of my secrets? I don’t want to hurt her. I want to love her…


I pocket the ring and roll over, deciding to watch Bethany sleep. As creepy as that probably sounds, the simple action brings me great joy. Maybe I should talk with Lorenzo about my emotions… he might be able to help.
