Some people believed rain was a symbol of the blessings God sent us from above. I, on the other hand, would always associate rain with grief. Failure. Deceit.

It amazed—and scared—me how life always managed to surprise us. For better or for worse.

You could live in hell one moment and find out the next love wasn’t just a theoretical concept. You could find a wonderful woman to love, then ruin your family with your own hands.

Some might say it was ironic. I called it cruel.

A bad joke made by the biggest bully we faced: life itself.

I was always a little jerk. Life made me that way, and I embraced it. From the moment I learned what pain was, my path as an asshole was set. I managed to fool a few people along the way that I could be better—I even fooled myself. But our true colors always ended up showing, no matter how hard we tried to hide them.

I was Benjamin Walker for my clients—the Government among them.

I was Ben for my closest friends and family. I was Benny for my best friend. Son of a Bitch for my father. Baby for my woman. I even managed to be Daddy.

But I was Enemy for myself.

As I felt the rain run down my face, mixed with my tears, I cursed life for the debacle I was in. She had her share of responsibility. She was, after all, my biggest bully.

But even I couldn’t hide the fact that the pain I was feeling wasn’t all because of her twisted games and vicious sense of humor.

I was the master of my sea and I was about to sink my ship. Bringing my family down with it.

The truth was, I got cocky. I took one too many chances. I thought I could gamble with life and come out unscathed.

Newsflash: life won.

The place was opulent and not somewhere I’d normally choose. If the food matched the smell, I was looking forward to it, but this wasn’t my scene. I didn’t have a choice in the matter, though.

As a fan of romantic suspense, I’ve tried my best to portray aspects of investigation as accurately as possible. On the other hand, I let my imagination run wild here and there, so some scenes don’t necessarily represent what a real investigation would entail.

Even though I mention some federal agencies, in no way did I try to diminish their hard work or the lengths the good workers would go to fight crime.

​

That being said, I feel the need to warn you, Fellow Reader, that these books contains some sensitive subjects that might trigger you. If you don’t want any spoilers, skip this part and dive into the story.

​

But if you’d rather be privy to the issues beforehand, here are they: strong language, sexually graphic situations (intended only for 18+), vigilante justice, pregnancy, domestic abuse (including against minors), cheating (not on page or between the main characters), human trafficking and sexual assault (the last one not on page), drugs (not used by the main characters), violence, and the death of loved ones.

​

Please, take care of your mental health.
