New Series: Deception

Hello, readers!

I'm excited to announce the start of a new  epic series!

Please visit my profile and add "Deception" to your libraries and reading lists. Thanks!

Chapter One will be published today.

In the meantime, enjoy this short description and Prologue!

DESCRIPTION

Infiltrating one of the most ruthless crime organizations isn't something the FBI is able to pull off everyday. The Mob is nothing to mess with. Neither is the Chicago Outfit's very own underboss.

In the most unfortunate way, the perfect future cover for FBI Special Agent Diana Reyes presents itself while visiting her sister after she returns home to Chicago. After losing her last relative in the world, she sets her sights on doing what she can to honor her sister's memory. A year later she finds herself five months into the most important undercover operation of her career. She's managed to form a romantic relationship with the Chicago Outfit's very own underboss, Julian DeMarco, and is now ready to infiltrate the crime organization through the inside. Gaining more and more trust as each day passes by, she's eager to get closer to the family and unravel all of their secrets, finding anything that can lead to dismantling the Outfit for good.

But what happens when an undercover agent finds themself in too deep? What happens when the line between good and evil starts to blur and you start questioning your own actions or lack thereof?

One undercover agent. One future crime boss.

One swore an oath. The other is as dirty and ruthless as they come and will lead her down the darkest path yet.

The game of deception has never been for the weak. It's a powerful world these people live in, and blood is set to turn the streets of Chicago red sooner than they all realize.

DECEPTION

PROLOGUE

   I used to think Camila Russo was the lucky one of the two of us. She was never my best friend—I wasn't even aware she existed until I was sixteen years old. But there was always that resentment I had towards her after I found out the truth. Instead of having been abandoned like I was as a newborn, she was the one of us who got to live a life with our real mother.

   She had her reasons, Claudia used to tell me. Whoever your mother was, she had her reasons for having to give you up, Diana.

   Claudia Reyes was the only mother I ever acknowledged. She and her husband, Johnathan, raised me since the age of six months. In fact, she was the nurse that found me outside the hospital the day Alina Russo decided to abandon me.

   Johnathan and Claudia gave me the greatest childhood a kid could ask for. I had parents who loved me and gave me everything they could, who raised me with rules and guidance, sent me to the best schools and set me on the right path. I had everything I could have ever wished for. My life was perfect—even after I found out I had a twin in Chicago and was the only child that our mother had abandoned. It did hurt at first, but I eventually realized I didn't need Alina Russo as a mother. I had something far better. I had Claudia and Johnathan.
