I was raised to take whatever was given to me. Even if it meant marrying a man I didn't like, much less loved. There's no room for someone like me in my uncle's world and he wouldn't hesitate to commit me to a life of hell if it benefited him.He sent his daughter and me to a place he thought was safe so he could mold his successor to his preferences without distractions. Little did my dear old uncle know, he was showing me a way out from under his thumb.My cousin, Rae Morrissey, is building a better world through vigilante justice along with an empire she tried to avoid. Her first order of business is to steal from a truly evil man, counting coup, as she calls it, and hopefully coming out unscathed. She needs help because she can't do it alone.Staying to help her instead of going back to Boston, to my uncle and to the Irish mob, is my way out. A way to have a future that I want where a woman loving a woman isn't taboo.I've met the woman of my dreams and I'm willing to risk everything, even kill, to reach for my forever with her. The downside is that it may end up costing me my life and possibly Rae's too.
