Breaking Storm: A Dark Chicago Underworld Romantic Suspense (Storm Duet 1)
About this ebook
TEAGAN
College is my one-way ticket out of this city.
For years, I distanced myself from the Chicago underworld.
I attend college, work at a florist, and have a boyfriend who knows nothing about my life.
Now the leaders of two rival gangs block my escape. My father is forcing me to marry the son of his rival to forge an alliance. A childhood friend I haven’t seen since I was sixteen.
Joey’s a criminal, born from violence. Street wars run through his veins. I’ll do everything in my power to make this forced marriage fail.
JOEY
Once I find her, I’m fleeing the streets of Chicago.
Most people think of me as a thug. A useless street fighter called Storm.
I’d love nothing more than to get away from this life, but my old man has blackmailed me for as long as I can remember.
I’m forced to marry Teagan, my father’s biggest nemesis’s daughter, and childhood crush. All I have to do is bide my time to sever the hold my old man has on me and disappear forever.

About the author
I am a Chicago native pulled from the shackles of a 9 to 5 job, and wound up in a small town in Germany to follow my writing dreams. As Gwendolyn Brooks said, “Writing is a delicious agony.”
A multi-genre author, wife, and mother of a furry one, I jumped over the big pond into another culture. My writing ideas come from living life. "How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live." Henry David Thoreau. Germany has opened my eyes to cooking, baking, gardening, bike riding, and road trips, but not necessarily in that order.
Aside from reading, writing, and watching my favorite shows, much of my time is spent with my husband and our dog.
