BLURB
After running from a past destined to kill him, Snow has been hiding on the streets.
Tell nobody your name.
Tell nobody your secrets.
Trust nobody!
These are the rules of the streets.
His entire life changes when he saves an eight-year-old boy from a violent end.
Christopher Manos is one of the most powerful crime bosses in the country.
Don’t ask anyone to do something you aren’t willing to do yourself.
Secrets can get you killed.
Trust nobody!
These are the rules he lives by.
When his eight-year-old nephew disappears, he never expects the boy’s savior to end up being his own.
A man with a dangerous past and a man with a dangerous future find love amidst murder and mayhem. But with Snow's life being threatened at every turn, will Christopher's best be enough to prevent Snow Falling?
EXCERPT
I should have known I wouldn’t
get far. Frank grabbed my arm. “He’s not my kid. His pop will very much want to
speak with you. Something tells me if you walk out that door, you’ll disappear,
and I don’t have time to go lookin’ for you. So, I think you’ll come with us
for now.” His firm tone made it clear it wasn’t a question.
When I looked around the police
station, I was shocked that no cops were interfering in what was clearly a
kidnapping. I shouldn’t have been too surprised. After all, in my book, police
didn’t have a very good track record for doing what was right.
“Stranger danger!” I yelled,
which just made Simon laugh.
“No, Snow, we aren’t strangers
anymore. You come home and my pop will protect you. That’s what he does.”
Who
the hell was his pop? Surviving was a lot about picking your battles.
Looking around the precinct, it was obvious my choices weren’t going to win
out. Frank and his goons weren’t going to let me pass. On the off chance I got
away, then I’d have Roy and these
guys chasing me.
“I don’t think I have a choice,
do I?” Frank shook his head. “Okay then. Onward, my good man!”
If the limo wasn’t a huge giveaway that Simon’s pop was
disgustingly rich, the enormous mansion with the iron gate was. Two large
Ms were worked into the iron. The house had a medieval look about it. A
fountain of fear was on display in the middle of the circular driveway, some
sort of gargoyles spitting water out of their mouths… or was it their eyes?
Gray stone, iron, and darkness made up this house. Whoever this guy was,
he wasn’t just rich, he was powerful. Leaning over, I whispered in Simon’s ear,
“Is your pop Tony Stark?”
Simon
chuckled. “No silly, he’s Christopher Manos.”
Christopher
Manos? Oh, son of a bitch. At least Iron Man was on the right side of justice.
“Come on, Snow, you can meet my pop!” Simon grabbed my hand and
pulled me out of the limo with all his might. When we came to the stone steps
and I looked up, I came face to face with not only the most dangerous man in
this city, but the most gorgeous. He was broad, and I could see the muscles in
his arms and legs even through his expensive suit. He had midnight black hair
and obsidian eyes. There was no doubt he and Simon were related.
“Pop!” Simon ran into his arms.
The man didn’t miss a beat. He scooped Simon up without ever taking his eyes
off me. “That’s Snow. He saved me.”
“Mr. Manos, it’s a pleasure to
meet you. I’ll have you know, I didn’t want to come here. I was forced. You have
a beautiful home and a great kid and if you just let me go, I’ll happily walk
home.”
He stared at me coldly. “You
don’t know my home is beautiful, you haven’t seen it. Let’s rectify that. Come
in.” He turned and walked inside. The nudge from Frank was likely the only
encouragement I’d get.
I
hope I don’t die.
