You can get much further with a kind word and a gun than you can with just a kind word. – Al Capone

An iron fist and a merciless cold metal gun, the mafia code that was taught to Zane Scarlet by his father. A code he wants to reform.
 But... When the only one knows how to solve problems is with a gun in hand and the only answer for betrayal is death - where does one start? And how does one do it while avoiding any attempts at arranged marriage? 

Not to mention the fiery woman on the right side of the law who entered his life like a whirlwind. What good could she possibly be?

excerpt:

"We already agreed where your place ends, Rose. There's no need any further argument. This Is final." Zane pinched the bridge of nose, turning to leave. A small hand grabbed the much larger one. An unexpected move. 
"What if I don't want my place to end there?" the low, quivering voice asked.
"What if I want this to be real?"

Little Dove I love you so
but I know you have to go.
So spread your wings
and fly my love,
soar above the world my dove.
Paint the sky in indigo,
let your graceful colors flow,
and I'll search the sky
for your rainbow.

*Prequel to Arranged Marriage To The Princess of The Red Scorpions*

Dear Dove

Zane needed to take some time to cool off before he thought about calling someone to come and help him out. Not that he exactly needed it, he just knew that he wasn't exactly in the right state of mind to be driving.

Not to mention that anyone in the area would've likely noticed the car that he came in. Not exactly the best position to find himself in at the current moment in time. Nothing that he could do about it thought considering he'd already made his choices.

Zane didn't exactly feel good about using it but decided to not put the lighter he'd gotten back to waste. After going over two weeks without touching the cigarette, he welcomed the feeling of nicotine entering his system. It helped to take the edge off the current agitation that he felt. Not enough to entirely help take his mind off of what had just happened.
