The Santa Espera Series

 

Santa Espera Series Prologue

 

A city built on corruption. Who will save their souls?

 

Santa Espera is a dirty, sprawling metropolis. The streets crawl with crime, drugs, and forbidden love. At the heart of the city is a monolith; a vast building that stretches hundreds of feet, employing thousands of people.

 

PharmaChem.

 

The city's main source of economy and only provider of pharmaceuticals, both over and under the counter. The man who runs it, Will Silver, is the same man who brought this derelict city back to life. He's the man who controls 99% of its wealth. And he's got plans for the future.

 

Merryn. Jake. Katie. Lance. Trista. Flynn.

 

This is a glimpse into a day in their lives before our story takes place. Whether it's by trying to survive, working a tough job for an even worse boss, or searching for happiness between bedsheets, these six work hard to keep on living. Their fates will soon intertwine. But whether it's for the better or worse remains to be seen.

 

A Day In The Life is a prologue to the Santa Espera series. It is a standalone novella. It contains swearing, violence, sex, and gang-related activity.

Santa Espera Series Book 1

 

He's the worst person I know. And the best thing that ever happened to me.

 

MERRYN

 

My life used to be empty. I was restless, bored, and stuck at a job I hate. Then my coworker took me to that new bar and my life turned upside down.

 

That's when I met him.

 

Big, strong, and cocky as hell ... if you know what I mean.

 

I didn't know he was in a gang. I didn't know he was dangerous. And I didn't know the next time we met he would be saving my life.

 

But now I'm in danger, and I have to stay with him for two days.

 

Lucky me, right?

 

 

JAKE

 

I didn't know what I wanted until I met her. Cute, curvy, and the best f*** of my life. This woman is everything and more.

 

But it wasn't supposed to keep going. It was supposed to end at that bar. And we were definitely never supposed to see each other again.

 

Now she's in danger and I'm the one who made that happen. I'm going to keep her protected. I'm going to get her back alive.

 

And in the meantime, I'm going to make sure she's mine.

Santa Espera Series Book 2

 

He turned my world upside-down, and gave me exactly what I needed.

 

KATIE

 

I’ve spent the last seven years working non-stop. Building my own therapy practice, carving out a name for myself. It isn’t as easy as it sounds. Now that I’ve finally made it, I wonder where I’m going to go from here.

 

Life has a way of making decisions for you.

 

Part of me wishes I’d never met Lance. Just gotten in my car and driven away, instead of going behind the restaurant and getting f***ed three ways from Sunday.

 

Who knew being bad could feel so good?

 

It wasn’t till later that I found out how dangerous he is. And it wasn’t until after that that we started running for our lives. Now it’s just the two of us together. I wonder where we’re going to go from here?

 

 

LANCE

 

Being a hitman can be stressful.

 

The work is tough, even if you get into it for the best reasons. Sometimes you just need someone to talk to. So when my friend Willy told me about this shrink, I figured I’d give her a shot.

 

I didn’t expect to see her again.

 

I thought that night behind the restaurant wasn’t going to mean anything. I didn’t know it would take me over, make me want nothing else but her.

 

But we’re together again and I’ve got to have her. It doesn’t matter that someone’s trying to kill me. It doesn’t matter that we’re on the run. I’ll keep her safe. I’ll take care of her.

 

I’ll show her that even a bad boy is capable of love.

Santa Espera Series Book 3

 

Why does sleeping with the enemy feel so good?

 

TRISTA

 

It's not easy being a cop. And when you've gone undercover, trying to infiltrate the deadliest gang in Santa Espera to take down the scum that killed your own gangster brother?

 

Well. Let's just say I've been busy.

 

All I wanted was to earn the Bullets' trust. I needed to prove I was one of them. So when I hooked up with Flynn in the bar bathroom, I thought it would be a one-time thing.

 

Boy, was I wrong.

 

I didn't expect it to be so good. I didn't expect to have feelings for him. And I sure as hell didn't expect him to be part of the very gang I'm out to destroy.

 

I just hope he'll forgive me for what I have to do.

 

 

FLYNN

 

When it comes to sex, I've got one rule: Once Is Enough. No feelings, no attachment. If you fall in love, it'll only lead to a broken heart.

 

I'll never make that mistake again.

 

I met Trista in the bar. Red hair, smoking body, and an attitude that made my c*** hard as a rock. I wanted her. I needed her. By the end of the night I had her. She turned out to be the best f*** of my life.

 

But there was something about her. I couldn't get her off my mind. Imagine my surprise when she showed up at the warehouse, wanting to be a part of the gang. Wanting to join the Bullets.

 

I've only been in love once. Losing her was the hardest thing I've ever done. I shut myself away. I never gave love a second chance.

 

I'll never make that mistake again.
