Wednesday Teaser: Contempt #ComingSoon



Hey, loves! 

Guess what's coming sooooooon. 
Yep. 

So, here is one more teaser. Maybe next week, I will share the full first couple of chapters. Who knows. Next week, Contempt will go live on iTunes and Barnes & Noble for a couple of days before it is pulled to go live on Amazon and in KU for the 4th. So if you are a reader for iTunes or B&N, then you'll want to be looking for that. 

Onto the teaser ...

“You got a job for me, or what?” Renzo asked.
Dare’s jaw muscles tightened, but he nodded. Probably happy that they were now onto an entirely different conversation. Nobody said dealing with Renzo when he was in one of his moods was particularly easy.
Even he knew that about himself.
“Folder on the desk—black strip across the front,” Dare murmured.
Ah, great.
A black strip on the folder meant the job came directly from M. It was the only way Dare chose to differentiate from the jobs he negotiated for Renzo, and the ones that came specifically from M for him to do.
Crossing the office, Renzo picked up the folder, and flipped it open. He found the picture of a tanned-skinned man with short, black cropped hair and brown eyes attached to a sheet of details with a simple paper clip. He gave the picture about five seconds of his attention before lifting it up to read the bit of details it covered.
Christian Savino.
32.
Born: Sienna, Italy.
Known drug trafficker.
Renzo took in the rest of the details about the man before quickly closing the folder, and giving Dare his attention again. The man still hadn’t come further into his office, instead opting to stand in the doorway.
“So the job is what, kill him?”
Because the file didn’t say.
Dare shook his head. “M wants you to keep an eye on the man, apparently. He doesn’t come over to this side very often—most of his business stays on his side of the world, I suppose. Except, he’s here for a span of time. Could be a couple of weeks, could be a lot more. For whatever reason, your boss has reason to believe that while he’s here, he could cause trouble. So yes, keep an eye on him. Report back to me once a week, and I will relay whatever information you give to M. He will decide what to do from there.”
Renzo blinked.
Like a fucking idiot.
“You want me to babysit some fucking Italian because he came to America?”
All the skills Renzo had … the shit he could do, and they wanted him to babysit somebody?
“That’s a joke, right?” Renzo asked.
Dare glanced at the folder. “That’s a folder from M, Ren. Do you think that’s a joke?”
Jesus Christ.
“Fine, where is this … Savino now?”
“Apparently, California,” Dare replied, “but it’s possible he’s doing work across the states, too. You might have to follow him.”
Renzo heard a lot in Dare’s statement, but only one thing registered to him.
California.
Lucia.
He knew better—he needed to stay away until the five-year term was up. The rebel in him was fucking dancing, though.
“Yeah, all right,” Renzo said. “Cali first, then.”
“Follow him wherever he goes.”
Renzo nodded. “No worries.”

AMA - You ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves. It’s that time of the week again where you ask all your burning questions, and I try to answer them as best that I can. Sorry this is a little late today, we had a bad storm and lost power for a bit. Also note: there will be no AMA next week, it's Christmas. ;) Do you have a question for me? Great. Put it in HERE . Now, onto the questions for the week. * 1. Hi, Bethany.1st I like to tell you that I love your books. My question is, will there be a book for Valeria on what she went through with her past and future when she is taken with her daughter Maria. Thank you I can't wait for more future books from you. Kimberly Hey, there. And thank you for the kind words. Valeria is paired with Christopher Guzzi, which I think I have stated before – I know it’s listed on my fan page in the albums for the family trees, and it may even be on my website. But yes, you will get her story there. No, we will not see a lot of her past – parts of it, yes, and she will talk about it, b...

AMA - You Ask, Bethany Answers!

Hey, loves! It is that time of the week again where you ask your burning questions, and I do my best to answer them. You all seem to have such an influx of q’s every week for me, which I love. Do you have a question for me? Great. Drop it into the form HERE . Now, onto the questions for the week. *** Please note, the first 3 questions are from Fae. *hugs* 1. Hi :) I firstly just wanted to say that I absolutely love every single thing you have written. I feel like your books have changed my life. Anyway, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it, so I just wanted to know, why did you decide to write a book about Naz? Hi there, and thank you. I’m not sure if someone has told me that my books have changed their life before, but all my love to you. My readers make this job 10x better for me, even on the worst days of my career as an author, the readers have always made it better. Keeps me humble, believe that. But onto your question … I honestly didn’t intend...

Tidak Sebaik Musa, Tidak Sejahat Fir'aun

“ Sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Lembut, Dia mencintai kelembutan dalam segala urusan ” - HR. Bukhari - Sejenak, mari kita kembali ke zaman dahulu kala, kembali pada lembaran sejarah dunia yang dinodai oleh kekafiran seorang Fir’aun. Ya, diktator nomor 1 sepanjang sejarah manusia ini merupakan penguasa sebuah peradaban yang paling maju di dunia saat itu. Harta, tahta, dan dunia seakan keseluruhan adalah miliknya. Tapi memang dasar Fir’aun, ia yang tidak akan pernah merasa puas, Ia yang tak merasa cukup menjadi manusia saja, ia ingin menjadi lebih daripada itu, ia memiliki obsesi untuk melampaui batas-batas kemanusiaan. Ya, ia ingin menjadi TUHAN. “ Kemudian (Fir’aun) berkata, “Akulah tuhanmu yang paling tinggi ”” ( QS. An Naazi’at: 24 ) Dan dengan segala kekuasaan yang ia miliki, ia daulat dirinya sendiri sebagai Rabb semesta alam. Tangan besi Fir’aun yang telah merampas kehormatan ribuan atau mungkin jutaan manusia telah memaksa mereka untuk tunduk patuh secara mutlak kepada titahnya. E...
