Ever since my twin sister was murdered and I blamed my best friend,

my life has been nothing but an epic downward spiral.

Once a swimmer for the most prestigious West Coast college,

I never in a million years thought I'd end up here.

Abandoned. Locked up. Alone.

In a moment of weakness, I call the guy who was more of a brother to me than anything,

the guy I betrayed.

Shockingly, he flies cross country to bail me out. But he isn't alone.

In tow is his new swim coach. A whistle-blowing tyrant who makes me crave to push every button he's ever had and toss his list of rules into the bottom of the pool he loves so much.

But I can't because now he's my coach too.

It's Coach Resch and the team who hates me or a four-by-four cell.

So off to Westbrook I go to do my sentence like the good boy I'll never be.

Coach thinks he can handle me, but he’s never met my particular brand of wild.

Whistle is a Westbrook Elite standalone novel, a college sports romance

featuring a coach/athlete relationship and an age gap.

KATHERINE

I have lost everything.

The life I dreamed of.

The love I cherished.

It was all snatched away from me in an instant.

But it also gave me my greatest treasure.

My daughter.

Yet fate took her from me as well.

Leaving me with nothing but emptiness.

Resentment.

Revulsion.

Even now, reunited after all these years, the shadows still haunt my thoughts.

And the man I once loved stalks my footsteps.

Liam Kavanaugh.

The man I was supposed to marry.

The man I loved.

He wants me back, but I can’t risk that kind of pain again.

Even after all these years he still holds my heart in his hands.

A heart he could crush without hesitation.

Even when danger looms over me, I refuse to seek comfort in his embrace.

Arms that once held me with tenderness.

Because the boy I once knew has transformed into a dangerous and unpredictable man.

And if I allow myself to fall for him again, he will consume me whole.

LIAM

Katherine McDonough was my life.

The love that singers sang about

And the tragedy that Shakespeare warned about.

She was meant to be my wife.

Mother of my children.

My entire world.

But she ran.

Or so I was led to believe.

The betrayal still stings when I think of everything I could have had

But fate brought me a family that I would never give up.

There is no going back and changing the past

But I can make sure we have a future.

Even if I have to force her to marry me.

She only remembers the naive boy I once was.

The one who would worship at her feet.

Now I am a man.

One who would burn down cities to have her at my side

And lay her enemies at my feet.

Because in my world we have only one saying…

Fola roimh gach ní eile

Blood before all else.

And Katherine McDonough is the one who gives life to the blood in my veins.

*Tainted Crown is a Dark Irish Mafia Romance that may have triggering concepts for some. I recommend visiting www.jomccallauthor.com/tainted-crown/ for a list of those triggers.

This book is part of an interconnected world, but can be read as a complete standalone. However for best consumption I recommend reading Stolen Obsession: An MFM mafia romance, first.

#BookReview: Hush Hush (Hush Hush Duet #1) by Lucia Franco

ABOUT THIS BOOK:

A new, seductive forbidden romance that caters to Manhattan's elite...

I knew the rules:

Never reveal my true identity.
Play the game, give the illusion. 
Don’t get close to the clients. 

The dark and glamorous lifestyle of the rich and shameless open my eyes to a lavish world of sin and wealth, and a man I can’t have. 

A man I desperately want—James Riviera. 

We're treading a fine line as we live the ultimate double life until we make a startling discovery that tests both our loyalties. 

I only had to follow the rules, but rules are meant to be broken.
