SERIES: Dirty Angels #3
RELEASE DATE: September 15, 2015
SYNOPSIS:
Blood. Sex. Revenge.
Being king comes at a brutal price.
Drug lord Javier Bernal has sliced and diced his way to the top of the Mexican drug trade, presiding over the country's largest cartel. But his rise to power comes at a brutal price: the death of his sister, Alana. Devastated and wracked with guilt, he turns away from his new wife, Luisa, forcing their marriage into a steady decline. But it isn't until she's pushed into the waiting arms of Esteban Mendoza, his right-hand man, that Javier realizes everything he's lost.
And it isn't until he learns the truth about Alana, that he realizes everything there is to gain.
Blood will spill.
Cities will burn.
Heads will roll.
Because Javier will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants.
And what he wants is raw, ruthless revenge.
Dirty Promises is the third and final book in the Dirty Angels Trilogy. While the other two books - Dirty Angels and Dirty Deeds - can be read as standalones, it is recommended you read at least Dirty Angels before reading Dirty Promises.
PRE-ORDER
EXCERPT
All my life, I thought I could operate
under my own code of morals and ideals. It was no different than most, I
supposed. The cop who has to shoot someone in self-defense. The soldiers that
go to war and raid villages in the name of freedom. Everyone makes excuses for
what they do, because they believe in it. Because they believe they are in the
right.
I had always thought of myself as a
somewhat civilized, almost classy, narco. I at least wanted to bring purpose
and grace to what I did. I didn’t believe in killing mercilessly. I believed in
mercy, in forgiveness, in giving people second chances. I believed in letting
people go after I got what I wanted from them.
I believed that to snitch was an outrage,
that even though we were dealing and fighting and killing to be in a billion
dollar industry. I believed that religious celebrations were to be respected. I
believed that family came first. I believed that women and children would not
be harmed.
For a moment, I thought that perhaps I had
lost my mind. Never mind the needless, senseless deaths that were already at my
hands over the last few months. Never mind that I had broken promises to
others, to myself. Dirty, filthy promises. It was then and only then that I
knew I had lost who I was. That every moral fibre that I based myself on was
threadbare and I was close, oh so close, to losing all sense of myself forever.
It scared me. I watched Luisa leave the
room and though I was reeling from her own words, the callous ones that reached
deep inside me and left a scar, I knew I might have damaged her beyond repair.
I could heal myself in time, but could she? Would we?
I didn’t think so.
