A snip from Misfortune of Birth the third book in the Always Cambridge Series. From rival mob families, Holly and Victor, escape to Hawaii and try, for a time, to be just a normal couple.
Excerpt:
I woke alone. I sat up in bed and looked around the room, finally locating Holly out on the balcony.
I wrapped the discarded towel around my hips and padded to the door. I hesitated and took a moment to just watch her.
God, she was beautiful. With her face turned into the warm tropical breeze, her newly red-blonde hair blew, fluttering around her shoulders. Her short floral robe plastered against her perfect body, the bottom blowing, giving me a sneak peek of her bare backside.
I slid the door aside. The sweet floral scents of Maui flowers and orchids wafted all the way up to the balcony. I moved in behind Holly and wrapped my arms around her. I kissed her neck. She leaned back into my chest.
“Why can’t I wake up with you coiled around me, like when we go to bed?” I asked.
“I’m sorry—I didn’t mean to fall asleep so quickly last night.” She turned in my arms. She kissed me, then began to back me towards the open door. As soon as we passed the threshold she pulled the towel from my hips and let it fall.
I untied her robe and pushed it from her shoulders; it fell, giving me a view of paradise.
The Always Cambridge Series chronicles the life of Holly Cambridge through her tumultuous childhood, violent teen years, into adulthood, and the consequences that stem from being the daughter of mob boss, Bill Cambridge.
Caught up in a bitter blood feud with the rival Mayhue family and unable to bear the violence that claimed her mother, Holly sets out to right her father's wrongs. But instead she embarks on an epic journey of sex, love, loss, tragedy and life-altering choices that not only impact her life but that of her beloved bodyguard, Randy Phillips; unsuspecting Federal Agent, Alex Orton; and surprisingly of all, Victor Mayhue, a member of the reviled Mayhue clan.
Can Holly distance herself and the ones she loves, from the violence and corruption she abhors, or will she discover a truth she's feared all along ... Mob life is forever!
