Sometimes you have to make deals with the devil to save the people you love.

Cory is changing my life. My quirky boy. So opposite of me in every way. Sweet and vulnerable, he’s willing to wear his heart on his sleeve. He’s willing to accept who I am—what I am—so I won’t fail him.

Now his worries are mine. His found family is mine. Mine to shelter. Mine to protect.

To do that, I’ll make another deal with the devil. One that will draw me out of the shadows to align me with a crime Family. They’ll give me the soldiers and resources to give my Cory answers, and hopefully, get his remaining family member back.

I’m playing a dangerous game. One I’m determined to win. No matter the cost. Because I’ll do anything for my boy. Anything to keep him by my side.
