The
Blurb
Hell’s Kitchen (Hell’s Kitchen #1)
*From International
Bestselling authors Callie Hart and Lili St. Germain comes a tale of two
families co-existing in a melting pot of violence, murder and drugs in the
seedy underbelly of New York City*
Hell’s Kitchen
Theo and Sal Barbieri are
brothers, tasked by their Mafioso father Roberto with a very clear purpose:
kidnap Kaitlin McLaughlin. The beautiful daughter of Roberto’s Irish enemy.
It’s high time Kaitlin was punished for her father’s sins—not to mention, her
own.
And Operation: Kidnap
Kaitlin is a roaring success… until it isn’t. When Kaitlin escapes into the
busy streets of New York City, it’s a race against the clock to find her before
Sal and Theo become the hunted.
Zeth Mayfair has traded his
life as a hitman for a quieter existence, but it isn’t long before the past
catches up with him in the form of Roberto Barbieri. Will he succumb to the
lure of power that Roberto is offering? Or will he retaliate by killing every
last Barbieri in New York to get them off his back?
Jason Ross is running.
Woken in the night by a tip that the Gypsy Brothers are coming for him, he
packs a bag and gets his girlfriend the hell out of dodge. Arriving in New York
City in the midst of a heatwave is one thing, but being tailed by an entire drug
cartel is another.
Worlds collide in Hell’s
Kitchen as secrets come to light and sins are punished. Because we might be
different in the light of day, but in the darkness, we’re all connected
somehow.
Hell’s Kitchen is a serial comprising three volumes:
Hell’s Kitchen, Tribeca and Bleecker Street. Volume One releases on March 3rd
with a limited-time sale price of 99 cents.
Excerpt
“When he lunges for me, I’m ready. I
deflect the hand he was going to grab me with, slapping it downward, and then I
grab onto his wrist, pulling him off balance. He seesaws forward but then rips
his wrist out of my hand. I don’t expect him to turn his slight fumble to his
own advantage, but he does. Dropping to the floor, he rolls and kicks out,
landing a solid strike to my leg. I have less than a second to brace myself
before I’m hitting the concrete.
Then he’s on top of me. “Oh, this is fun, sweetheart. But I don’t really have
time to be playing games with you right now.”
He’s reaching for my arms, about to pin me to the ground, but I jab, landing a
solid hit with my extended fingertips right in the base of his throat, in his
windpipe. He chokes, his body falling sideways, and then I’m on top of him.
Through watering eyes and a clearly sore throat, the guy grins up at me,
shaking his head. “Well, if you wanna fuck me, I guess I could make some time.”
Thrusting upward, he tries to unseat me, but I know this is what’s coming and
I’m ready again. I compensate, leaning forward, pressing my gun into the guy’s
neck.
“Who are you?”
His body goes still, his hands lifting so they’re palm up in front of him. “You
know who I am, sweetheart. I’m the enemy.”
“My boss has quite a few enemy camps. Which one do you belong to?”
“The biggest one,” the guy says, smiling. “The Italian one.”
“So you work for Barbieri?”
“I am a Barbieri.” Lightning fast, he snaps his hand out and clamps it around
my throat. The move catches me off guard, has me panicking for the first time.
My gun is gone, then, knocked to the ground, skittering away across the
blacktop. The guy’s hand tightens around the column of my neck, threatening to
squeeze even harder. “What’s wrong?” he asks. “Feeling a little lightheaded?”
VIDA'S REVIEW
This book was PHENOMENAL!! From the first page through to the
last you're taken on a helluva journey full of intrigue, suspense and action.
Both authors are fairly new to me and I'm thinking if they can write this EPIC
together then apart they are POWERHOUSES. These two authors transports readers
into a sensual world, full of suspense and intrigue, leaving us gasping for air
and an emotional mess. The story had me feeling as if I was being held hostage
while holding on to the edge of my seat wanting to know what's going to happen
next. It was a fast paced read that pushed my emotions into overdrive. Alas, twists
and turns arise, secrets are revealed, and trying to find control in an out of
control situation becomes most difficult when it also seems like romance will
blossoms. The characters that they created are wonderfully damaged and so
complex. It's not too far into the book, when you start to experience the same
exact emotions they are. Dark, sensual, and at times overwhelming, HELL'S
KITCHEN will bring you on a dark journey that you will never forget. I
absolutely recommend this book and the one's after it because you have very
good writing, plot twists that will blow your mind, and characters that will
drive you mad!!!
About the Authors
Callie Hart
Callie has
experienced many changes throughout her life, and gone through many ups and
downs that have all worked towards shaping and molding her into the person she
is today: fun loving, active, social, and hard working. The only thing that has
remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who
will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are
few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her
stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for
redemption.
Despite the subject
matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in
elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.
Lili Saint Germain
Lili writes dark romance, suspense and
paranormal stories. Her serial novel, Seven Sons, was released in early 2014,
with the following books in the series to be released in quick succession. Lili
quit corporate life to focus on writing and so far is loving every minute of
it. Her other loves in life include her gorgeous husband and beautiful
daughter, good coffee, Tarantino movies and spending hours on Pinterest.
She loves to read almost as much as she
loves to write.
