Summer O'Toole is the bestselling Indie Romance author and mastermind behind the Fox Family Crime Syndicate series... with the latest in the holy f'n hella hot line of Fox brothers to get his story: #ruinmeroan

We're talking all about Summer's author journey, writing dark crime romance, and I endlessly swoon over Daddy Cash

(if you haven't checked out book 1 in the series - get onnnn ittttt! 'MAKE ME' is currently available for FREE for a limited time only https://a.co/d/0KG9QaP and is the perfect intro to the series before reading 'Keep Me')

Here's a little preview of Roan's book - which I can already tell you (thanks to an early sneak peek), is going to have you 🥵🥵🥵

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

"I’m fascinated by the stories dead bodies tell. And murdered bodies tell the most interesting ones."

When bodies start turning up with connections to her father’s cartel, Regenia Cortez is pulled back into the dangerous world she left behind years ago.

She doesn’t know who she can trust, least of all Roan Fox—the man hired by her father to keep her safe.

Forced into each other’s lives, Reggie and Roan find themselves tangled in a sinister plot that runs much deeper than they ever thought.

Tensions rise, and the lines they swore not to cross start to blur.

Their own demons threaten to tear them apart, but one thing is for certain—he will stop at nothing to keep her safe.
