Book Description
How far will you go for love? Kevin Spivey murdered New Orleans' coke king, laundered $4 million in dirty assets, and set plans in motion to disappear. He's pulled the perfect crime, but Kevin has some more obstacles in his way. All flights out of Washington, D.C., are grounded under the heaviest storm to hit in close to a decade. Mykal Odadjian, his one and only love might be on the way. Of course, Mykal might not forgive Kevin, and the FBI might be en route. He's also got the Chicago cartel to worry about; he made his fortune selling them hot credit cards, and they'd be more than willing to turn his staged fatality into a reality. Kevin, faced with all the possible crises that would snap most men in half, faces this possibility: is he losing his mind, or has his late best friend been using him as a puppet for even darker purposes? As he waits for his future to unfold, Kevin has to face the demons of his past, demons that pushed him away from the straight and narrow, demons that could take his soul.
