 Money can solve a lot of problems. It helps with basic needs and provides security. But sometimes it comes with more problems, which is the case for Conor Monroe. The money he wants belonged to the crime bosses and when he gets his hands on it...they put a price on his head. Now it's Conor and Julia trying to keep one step ahead of the hired muscle who has never lost when he's on a hit. He's always gotten his man or woman. Conor and Julia don't stand a chance. Find out in this page turning romantic suspense by author Jules Adrienn, available now in ebook and print. Blurb: Conor Monroe wants more out of life than a broken family and penny-ante robberies. Julia Terranova is running from an old life, trying to stay one step ahead of her abusive ex. Together they might find an answer to their problems. But when Conor hears about the local crime lords’ next heist—$400,000 in gold—he overreaches. The result is a contract on his life and a new face in town, Joe Cracker Jones. Cracker is an unstoppable force who kills his targets in hand-to-hand combat. But to collect his payday, Cracker has to find Conor. And when terrorizing Conor’s family and friends doesn’t work, he targets the one person Conor can’t ignore—Julia. Conor’s only strategy is to buy time. One day, one hour, one moment at a time, desperate to hold off the roar of victory that signals the end for every man Cracker fights. But maybe this time the end can be a new beginning--if Conor plays this just right… It’s gonna be a showdown. Readers who like stories that combine a bit of romance with danger like The Town by Chuck Hogan; and Persuader by Lee Child will enjoy Nest of Thieves. EXCERPT: Conor Monroe, An old fella by the name of Mr. Duck has asked me to kill you. I’m guessing it has something to do with you giving him a couple black eyes and a fat lip. He thinks an awful lot of himself, which is good enough reason for him to take a whipping from you, but business is business, and my business is taking you out. In addition to being honest, you’ll be pleased to know that I’m a man of honor and will provide you with a fair fight. I will not shoot you, cut you, or try to kill you in any other manner than a hand to hand fight. If you walk out alive, good for you. If you don’t, I get paid, which is good for me. Seeing as how we both have skin in the game, we shouldn’t beat around the bush. In order to speed the process, I’m asking you to visit any local bar at your earliest convenience and tell the bartender you would like them to call me, Joe Cracker Jones. I will pick you up and take you to a suitable location where we can fight until one of us slips away to our everlasting reward. I urge you to be clear of mind when I pick you up, as you will need to have all your faculties when you face me. There is nothing I hate worse than a sloppy fighter, and I will make you pay dearly should you indulge yourself with alcohol or drugs before we are formally introduced. Of course, I know it’s normal for a man to determine that a fight of this kind is less than ideal. A man may even believe he can somehow avoid the issue. I urge you to not travel this path, as I have begun checking around to locate your friends, family, and associates. I will also be putting your photo into the hands of quite a few people in town. Mark my words, I will find you. I will also be back in this apartment from time to time, checking to see if you have read this note. I will know if you have been here, and every minute you are not coming to me is another minute that I will be coming to you. That will make me unhappy. If you make me find you, people you know and love will be killed. Don’t make me do that. Be a man, meet me face-to-face, and let’s take care of our business as quickly as possible. Have a blessed day, Joe Cracker Jones BUY LINKS: |
