The video stopped then. Silence descended over the car. Our previous conversation about our relationship, marriage and babies completely forgotten. There was no way in hell I’d stand by idly whilst he did this shit to my mother. No fucking way. Not after I’d reconciled with her. Quinn might have told me he didn’t want me to kill, but now there was no fucking way I was going to let any of them take this away from me.
Frank Russo was going to be the one who would die. He’d drown in his own blood by the time I was done with him. Nothing and no one would stop me. I’d protect us all from his bullshit. I’d go up against him and destroy his fucking life.
I was the queen. I was the motherfucking queen. And no one would take that shit away from me.
“I’m going to kill him,” I ground out. “I’m going to fucking kill him.”
The boys all stared at me, even Eric through the rearview mirror.
“He’s a dead fucking man walking. Mark my fucking words, I will kill Frank Russo. Me and only me. I’m going to take a fucking knife to that man’s throat and bleed him fucking dry. Me. I will end him for good.”
To be continued in
Together. Apart. Where does it end?
It started with the war. The war we’d wage upon the very man who’d raised me. The war which would either tear us apart or keep us together.
We’d finally found our way to each other. The five of us gave in. It’d been inevitable from the start. Desire had forged us, but it was love which set us free. Made us into what we were. A family drenched in blood.
Everything had built up to this moment. Our final fight for survival. Our final battle against corruption. Quinn, Xavier, Eric and Rory were the ones I had to protect at all costs. Even if it meant I sacrificed parts of myself in the process.
We had so much to live for. So much to lose. Would we really win this? Would we come out the other side? Would we still be whole? And the very last question I had… Is the love we share really enough for all of us in the end?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this book. I really appreciate all of my readers and hope this book gave you as much joy reading it as I did writing it.
A huge thank you to my best friend and critique partner, Sab. Without you, I wouldn’t know when I’ve gone too far or done too little. You are, undoubtedly, one of the best things to ever happen to me. You’ve never steered me wrong and for that, I will be eternally grateful. Thank you for all the laughs, tears and everything in between.
Another thank you has to go to my author friend, Elle. You’re always encouraging me, listening to my various rants and lamenting over my characters. It’s been such a joy to get to know you over this past year. Hopefully many more to come!
A huge thank you goes to all my readers and reviewers. Without you, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Thank you so much for taking a chance on this series!
To my beautiful family, thank you for always being here for me. Your support is absolutely priceless. I can’t believe how far I’ve come in the past year and your encouragement has kept me going.
And last, but not least, thank you to my husband. You’re the best person in my life even if you drive me crazy. I love you to the stars and back!
