Defending Pride

Fighting for my life isn't anything new.
It feels like I've been dodging bullets for as long as I've been breathing.
Sometimes, they strike.
While I'm no stranger to blood and pain, things have gone too far now.
Choices have been made.
Lines have been crossed and new ones drawn
Ones no one could have anticipated.
Love was never meant to be part of the equation.
But now, it isn't just me and my own pride I need to defend.
We all have targets on our backs.
And with friends becoming enemies…
There isn't anyone left to trust in this city.
Soon, Chicago will burn.
I just hope I can survive the inferno.

***Defending Pride is the eleventh book in The Deadliest Sin Series about organized crime in Chicago. This series is best read in order, as the stories are chronological and each sin builds on the events of the previous one.***
