Marlowe

Julian Marlowe has run the family's business for twenty years and buried his best friend last week. He's now responsible for the man's son. Rafael Carrow is nineteen, furious, and knows exactly what Julian did. He was supposed to be sent abroad and forgotten. Instead he made himself useful, then unignorable, then impossible to walk away from. For eleven months Julian holds the line. Then Rafael's own uncle moves to take the family and put a bullet in Julian's head, and it turns out the boy has been paying attention. When the dust settles, Julian has one choice left: protect Rafael or keep him. He decides not to separate the two. A dark MM mafia romance with an age gap at its center and no plans to apologize for it.
