Brandon Wilson is trouble.
As leader of the largest car theft ring in Atlanta, GA, life is coming at him faster than he can handle. While the criminal world views him at the top of his game, the truth is, he’s breaking apart, piece by piece. He’s not sure how much more he can take before he completely shatters.
He’s able to manage this facade until he meets Claire Peters. As a part of a kidnapping scheme gone bad, she’s literally delivered right to his warehouse door. As his love for her grows, Brandon finds himself caught in an impossible dilemma. With his lifestyle, he knows he can’t keep Claire, and yet, he can’t risk letting her go, either. His men think he should make her disappear forever, but she’s his angel who still believes in second chances.
Can someone be so lost they’re beyond saving? And if salvation is possible, how does Claire show him the way?
Can a thief be redeemed?
 

Excerpt:

 

Carlos and Simon have all twenty cars delivered without a hitch by dawn the next morning. I hand out the cash to everyone who deserves to get paid and we called it quits. Since we made more than enough money, I give everyone the next three nights off. I don’t mention I need to lay low due to a target being placed on my head. Marcus is the only one
who will ever know the truth. I don’t want this information getting out; one of my stellar employees just might turn me in.

In this business there’s few you can trust. I sleep with a knife under my pillow, and I know Marcus is always packing. It could have been anybody who ratted me out. It’s amazing what people will do for money. Hell, they’ll sell their soul just to make a profit. I know this all too well.

I am one of those people.

My soul is lost for good. My body is filled with too much money, too much greed, and too much power. It’s a bad combination.

But I can’t stop the obsession.

The pull is too strong and each high is too high. Every month that passes and each year beneath me leads me closer to my destruction. It’s only a matter of time before I implode…that is, if the cops don’t catch me first.

I use to think I was invincible.

I use to think I would never be caught and those who tried to warn me were pussies. But now I know the truth, and it’s staring me square in the face. I will never let anyone else know the truth: I’m scared. I’d never let up on this tough guy façade. I’ve invested far too many hours and far too much time to quit here. Besides, what would my men say if I walked away? In this business walking away isn’t an option. You keep doing what you’re doing, or you go to jail.

End of discussion.
