Devious Corruption

About the book

There is nothing that can compare to the allure of forbidden fruit.

Maxine Hartman is known for her sharp wit, quick tongue, and undeniable beauty. Unfortunately, she is also a close friend of my sister, which means she is strictly off-limits to me.

She bears the weight of her brothers' troubles as if it is a sacred duty. Despite struggling under their burdens, they continue to heap more upon her.

Her brothers engage in reckless behavior, trafficking guns for an Armenian gang, cozying up to the Italians, and leaving a trail of their foolishness all over town. They pull her into dangerous situations and then leave her to deal with the consequences.

Maxine is in over her head, but her stubborn nature prevents her from accepting help.

Her defiance stirs a protective instinct within me. She will not face this alone as long as I am alive. Too much is at risk - her life, her heart... and what is left of my own soul.
