liminal
Barista meets billionaire crime-boss in this sexy, contemporary mafia romance.
SAM
I’m pretty sure it’s bad form to pick up a guy in a hospital.
Pretty sure it’s even worse to show up uninvited at his brother’s funeral.
Or let him…have you at the wake.
It’s definitely not a smart move to let him into your apartment when he shows up uninvited after you made the reasonable choice to ditch him at said wake.
Still, I let him in.
Because… I’m messed up. And so is he.
Besides, he’s also yummy, and we’re both adults, and we have needs.
Needs that don’t include getting attached, or telling each other our secrets.
Which I know he has. Then again, don’t we all?
Except the longer we carry on with this arrangement, the harder it gets to remember the deal.
Even if I know that giving into our inexplicable connection will change my life forever.
And that Edward’s secrets will either destroy us, or…
Open the door to a world I never could have imagined.
Note to readers: liminal ends on a cliff-hanger - Edward & Sam will be back in book two of the Traversing series. Please also be aware this book contains profanity, open-door sex scenes, and themes/subject matter, which may be difficult for some readers.
