ROME
I swore to kill him if I ever saw him again, and now he's back.
Every kid knows the feeling of having a monster under the bed, but mine wanted me in his sheets. Two decades later, Father Norman has the guts to show his mug again, still playing the good shepherd.
I'm out for revenge, but then I learn he has friends. Lots of them. And one of the offenders is close with the woman I love.
BELLA
I always knew that evil lived among us, but I wasn't aware just how close it lurks.
My family is anything but happy that I'm dating a mob boss, and they make no secret of their aversion to Rome. Despite my efforts to appease them, things only get worse. Then Rome starts distancing himself from me without explanation.
When a loved one of mine is suspected of being involved in child trafficking, I start digging for proof. What I uncover shatters my world into a million pieces—and paints a target on both Rome’s back and mine.
Lucid Nightmare is a gritty Christian mafia romance about a mob boss caught between darkness and light. It's the second installment in the Marino Legacy Trilogy and picks up right where Cruel Blood (book one) left off.
Author's Note: While Lucid Nightmare does not contain explicit content, it is intended for readers 18+ due to mature themes and violence. Content warnings will be available under "Read sample" once the book is published.
Genre: Inspirational
