Tommy \u2018Havoc\u2019 Kendrick\u2019s rap sheet reads like a recipe for disaster: one part mayhem to three parts chaos. There\u2019s no arguing the matter; he\u2019s a bad guy, or at least he used to be. For the past five years, Tommy\u2019s been on the straight and narrow, keeping his head down and staying out of trouble. He left the French Quarter behind, along with the New Orleans crime syndicates and underground fights that used to pay his bills. Trading in the high-octane thrill of earning money with his fists to work in an auto mechanic\u2019s was hard, and yet somehow, despite everything, he\u2019s made it work.<\/p>\n

Until now.<\/p>\n

Tommy hadn\u2019t planned on seeing his brother again. When David Kendrick turns up on his doorstep with a bag full of money and four broken ribs, Tommy finds himself heading back to the place he swore he\u2019d never return. Back to the fights. Back to the drinking, the drugs, and the women.<\/p>\n

Back to a life he thought he\u2019d left behind for good.<\/p>\n

Nikita Moreau has lived in New Orleans all her life. She learned to drive there, lost her virginity there, bought her first house there, and she\u2019s damned if she isn\u2019t going to die there, too. As a prison psychologist at one of the country\u2019s most dangerous facilities, she runs the risk of dying in the state of Louisiana on a daily basis, and yet she wouldn\u2019t give it up for the world. There\u2019s nothing more satisfying than helping those everyone else has given up on. Nothing more rewarding than fixing something everyone said was broken.<\/p>\n

The day she meets Tommy Kendrick, however, she learns a painful lesson: sometimes a person is too broken to be fixed. Sometimes a person is beyond reach and cannot be saved. The tall, dark and handsome, tattoo-covered devil is danger personified. She knows this. She knows he\u2019s bad news. So then why can\u2019t she stop thinking about him? Why can\u2019t she stay away from him?<\/p>\n

And, most importantly, why won\u2019t she save herself?<\/p>\n

*** Road To Ruin is part one in a two-part story. Part two will be coming out soon! Be advised: Road To Ruin is a dark romance novel that contains graphic scenes. As such, this book is only suitable for readers 17+ ***<\/span><\/p>\n
