About the book: year / "Fortitude" is a separate novel. It is the first spin-off of the world of Brotherhood, introduced in the Sin trilogy: The Necessary Sin, The Next Sin, The Final Sin. I am a doctor. Bandit. Murderer. My hands are dirty. I have no right to touch anything as pure and immaculate as Allison McAllister. I withdraw... always remaining unclear, reserved. Careful not to let my gaze linger too long. I diligently hide my interest. Careful so that my burning desire does not spill out. I do this for her sake, I suffer in silence, because it will be better for the woman I love. And she has no idea. Soon she will be initiated into the Brotherhood. One of my mafia brothers will go through all the trials to earn the right to claim it. Will make her his wife. Kill her. Me. Slowly. I don't have much time. There's only a month left before she's out of my reach forever. I want to taste it. Share sleepless nights with her. Wait out the storm. I want to give her nights that will make her still feel me between her legs the next morning. I want us to share passion. Between the sweat, the moans and the tousled hair, I want her to know how much she was loved. To have her is to spoil her. I have to stay away. But I won't. I can't. I'm a selfish bastard. Selfish bastard in love.
