Out of Luck (e-Book)
Gino ‘Luck’ Melo Jr. is known as “The Man” in his hood, separate from his father’s legend as one of the most notorious drug lords in Queens. Successful at almost anything he touches, Luck’s name is synonymous with winning. By all outward appearances, he has everything: money, reputation, respect, and the baddest chick. On the inside, he wants more. Having his childhood stolen from him, he yearns for a different type of life. A quiet life away from the streets and drama. So when he meets down-to-earth and ambitious Mia Nolan, his focus shifts to making his dream a reality with her part of it. Before Mia, love was transactional to Luck, and for the first time, he understands what it means to have your heart beat for someone else. He isn’t perfect, though, and the few mistakes he does make threaten to destroy all his hard work for a better future.
Vic DeLucca wants to be a legend. Everything that Luck is ready to walk away from is what he thrives on. Best friends from childhood, the two had a plan to get rich and go legit while staying alive and out of jail. Now that they had accomplished that, Vic realizes he wants more. He wants it all, and Luck walking away while they were on top isn’t an option.
Luck does his best to navigate a smooth transition into the man he wants to be, but there are too many ties to the life he wants to leave behind. He refuses to let anything block his goals, and anyone who gets in his way will become a casualty of war.
