Evelyn
turned toward the lights of the city. The view was breathtaking as she stood
looking down on Las Vegas, lovingly wrapped in Tony’s arms. It was a moment she
would keep deep in her heart, forever. “Look at this—The City of Gold!” Evelyn
exclaimed as Tony kissed her forehead. “And it’s all ours, Eve!”
Thus
begins a heartwarming and harrowing tale of life and forbidden love lost to one
generation and found in the next. Caught between a turbulent love triangle that
shook the very foundations of the Mafia’s Las Vegas Empire, and a deadly
struggle for wealth and power, Mob Boss and “King of Las Vegas” Tony Torino,
his mistress hustler and onetime showgirl Evelyn Rosenberg, and her husband top
Chicago mobster Charlie “Gus” Rosenberg live and love in defiance of the
violent and unforgiving laws of the Mafia. All that remains is Evelyn’s
carefully preserved diary left by Gus to be discovered by his daughter Adriane
and Tony’s son Victor as they pack up her late father’s belongings. Through the
vivid and brilliant use of flashbacks, juxtaposed with current events, we
witness one of the most beautiful and ill-fated love stories of the last
century. As Victor, a forest ranger who fled his family’s Mob past, and
Adriane, an attorney being pressured to work for the Mafia, read through the
diary old hatreds and new alliances rise leaving us to wonder if history will
repeat itself.
Excerpt
Three:
“Vic, you can’t just walk into Sonny Graziano’s office!” Al
said, trying to get Victor to see reason.
“I’m going in, no matter what happens!”
“You’re not thinking right, my boy!”
“Yes I am! You can’t stop me! I've never fulfilled the
vendetta for my father’s death!”
“Let’s grab a drink and talk about this some more,” Al
begged him.
“Why? I finally have Adriane at last and now look at this
mess… Adriane knows that Adam is our brother, and on top of everything else,
Lisa is pregnant!”
“You’re teasing me?”
“Nope, I wish, but my mind is made up! My gun is loaded and
I’m ready to kill.”
“Wait, you don’t have to go in there!”
“That would make me not my father’s son! Dad would do the
same thing as me.”
“I beg to differ. He
would have a plan and a few cards up his sleeve.”
“Excuse me for not being my father! You have no room to
talk, Uncle Al. You ran as far as you
could from this Mafia stuff.” Victor pointed out, tired of living in his
father’s grand shadow.
“I would be dead now if I hadn’t run! I thought you wanted
nothin’ to do with this kind of life?”

Hello, I’m Alexandra Forry, the author of Timeless Endings,
a new sub-genre in the romance novel arena. Timeless Endings is a romance set
in the world of the mafia. I’m so excited to be a Guest Blogger on Book Girl
Knitting.
Today, I’m going to tell you what my own thoughts on
Romance, Love and Sex. I happen to be jumping on the lime here, what is the
different kinds of romance that one may experience over a life time? Some say
that you love once in your life time, but is it true? Maybe in the 1950’s when people
married, sleep in twin bed, and stay married to death do us part. One shall
will never know.
In this day and age you can have casual sex or hooking up
outside the context of a romantic relationship. One wonder’s if casual sex
might turn into romance? This my point I am trying to get across, different
kinds of romance relationship. When most people date sex in the picture. Also I
have to think about all the affair’s that happen when one is married and the
sex has gone out turning it into a sexless marriage? It also might happened you
have been dating someone for a while.
Look at our Social Media, sex seem to be always in our
faces, TV shows, movie, music, video games, even on Facebook and such. As
children we were drilled growing up that we need to wait to have sex on our
wedding night or go to hell. As we grew up and enter high school we feel things
towards someone, this being called “High School Sweethearts” then it come the
big “Q” do I want to get marry right out of high school? What about College? What
if I fell in with another man whom is my soul mate and I can’t be with him
since I married my high school Sweetheart? Now people go to college and the
same thing has happen all over again. I could go on and
on with this subject at hand.
Another kind of romance that I want to point out is a kind
of romance that sometimes doesn’t involve sex. You might think WHAT? It’s what
I like to call pure romantic without sex. It’s when you love someone very much
but you give up having sex with them for whatever reason. You two might talk
about sex, but at the end you can’t act on it. The point that I’m trying to say
that, I believe that love, romantic love can come in all types of forms, and
when you least expect it. That’s the kind of a romance I enjoy writing.
Did I made you think?
I want to thank Book Girl Knitting for the big honor of
having me and my book Timeless Ending on this blog today. If you have any
