An Interview With A Mobster

By Judy Serrano

 
Diego, why did you pay so little attention to Lilly when you first got together?

 I married Lilly just to have something on her father, who as you already know, was the chief of police in one of my territories. By marrying Lilly, I was able to keep him under control. I had no personal interest in her.

 How did you feel when you found out she was in love with your brother?

 I was of course very angry. At first, I wanted to kill them both; but after some time I realized that I couldn’t let her go. It opened my eyes to what I was missing. I still think she will love me someday. I just have to be patient.

 Were you ever afraid of your brother Jorge, or did you always feel he was your equal?

 I fear no one. He had nothing on me. There was a time, however, when I feared that he might hurt my brothers and my wife. I took the necessary action to make sure that didn’t happen. I regret nothing.

 What about Junior? How do you feel about your stepson, Diego Montiago Jr.?

 Junior couldn’t be more mine if we shared DNA. I love that boy. No one will take that boy from me.
 
Diego, what would you like the readers to know about you that might not be in the first book, Easter’s Lilly?

 Things are not always what they appear to be, and I don’t lose gracefully.


BLURB

 It was Easter Sunday; the day Lilly's life went from safe and comfortable to dangerously unfamiliar. Her transformation takes her from a small town girl having an affair with a low ranked gangster in the Montiago crime syndicate, to a woman of grace and fortitude married to the head of the organization. Easter's Lilly is an inspired journey from the idyllic to the darker side of self-discovery. Read as the over-privileged brothers embark on their journey that twists and turns down the road of unbridled passion in this first book of the series.

Oceanus:
Oceanus is the leader of the dragons that claim Xosha as their home. He is older than many think and tries to do the best he can to lead the dragons that follow him. Being a blue dragon, Oceanus can control and manipulate water at will.

Pyre:
Pyre is Oceanus’ younger brother, born to the second clutch their parents had. While age wise, he is considered an adult, his actions deem him an adolescent in Oceanus’ eyes. Pyre can be brave, and is always stubborn. Being a red dragon, Pyre can control and manipulate fire at will.

Jade:
The youngest sibling to Oceanus and Pyre, born to the last clutch their parents had before the humans arrived. Being vulnerable, young, and feeling alone since she is the youngest in the horde, she was an easy target for Fury and her minions. As a green dragon, Jade can control and manipulate air at will.

Rose:
Chosen by the gods, Rose can communicate with them when they need to relay a message. Her odd coloring deemed her an outcast to the horde. Showing no visible abilities, she was deemed weak and useless. Oceanus and Jade are her only friends. Being a white dragon, Rose can heal any wound, and if could in enough time, she can restore the soul to the dead.

Reaper Rose:
Alpha of the Rose pack, the main wolf pack in the Solstyce Woods. Reaper had a rough life and earned his place as alpha. While seen as heartless and uncaring by the dragons due to some of his actions, it is evident that every move he makes is in the best interest of his pack. Reaper is a black wolf that stands six feet tall from foot to ear tips on all four legs.

Asami:
A hellhound found in the belly of Shai’Pyre. She and her pack of five were deemed traitors by Fury though it is unclear why. Granted sanctuary by Reaper when found in a cage in the belly of Shai’Pyre, she makes it her mission now to show her new alpha that not all hellhounds are evil. Asami is a red hound with red gargoyle wings. She stands roughly five feet tall from foot to ear tips, Six feet if you measure to the tips of her wings.

Fury Nye’Cross:
Fury holds the title of the Queen of Shai’Pyre, though in reality she is nothing more than her brother’s champion. A vicious Shai Demon, Fury’s flesh is tan tinged with a reddish hue, and deadly horns that protrude from her forehead. Her favorite method of torture is her tail whose spaded end is deadly accurate. Fury is five foot two with gold eyes.

Elrur Silverspell:
King of Silverspell, Elrur is a Silver Elf. He stands  approximately five foot nine, his skin is a periwinkle color with the traditional elvish long pointed ears. His hair white and his eyes are a pale blue. Elrur is a master at getting what he wants.  Ally to no one really, he will use anyone to gain what he desires.
 
Devlin Darkthorn:
Once a Silver Elf, he was the first of Elrur’s “experiments” to create an intelligent, obedient killing machine. Now deemed a Silver Fang , Devlin’s skin has a sickly palor to it, his hair is a dull black, his eyes grey, and to remain on his feet, he must drink blood.

Caterina Darkthorn:
Caterina is Devlin’s mate. The second of Elrur’s twisted Silver Fangs. While obedient to her king, Caterina has blonde hair that falls mid back and eyes a deep sapphire.
