Jagger has a double life, a life bound to the law and another where he breaks every law known to man as he does his job as The Enforcer for the New York City Mafia. Jagger has been engulfed in sorrow since he lost the woman he loved and their baby when she got caught up in the dark side of his life. Jagger sank into depression, drugs, and alcohol while trying to fight off his demons and get revenge for what happened to the woman he loved and their baby. The man that killed them is a ghost, a ghost Jagger can’t seem to find. Jagger rebuilt his life, becoming the most reputable criminal lawyer in New York City, and now he needs to face the man he stole his woman from in court. His past seems to come back to haunt him when he meets the only woman who has made him forget about his past and wants to be with someone again. Calliope Flores is a law student who is suing one of her professors for sexual harassment. Her life has turned upside down, as she has to deal with what happened and relive it every second of every day. When she meets the lawyer representing her professor, her disgust for him mixes with lust, desire, and a mind-blowing sexual attraction. Callie tries to fight off her desire while cultivating the anger that fuels her body. Getting mixed up with a big-time lawyer from the opposite side seems like a mistake Callie is willing to make if it will make her feel alive again. This is the third and last book of The Legacies series. This book can be read as a stand-alone, but it is recommended to read the other books first for better comprehension.
View MoreCallie POVI blink my eyes several times, trying to adjust them to the brightness passing through the curtains in the bedroom. I close one eye, peaking only from one, and I realize Jagger is not in bed with me. Automatically, I dart up and look around the room, pulling the hair away from my face. “Jagger,” I call out, but no one responds. I take a deep breath, fall back down on the bed, and pull the blanket to cover my head. I smile. I don’t know why I am feeling like this. I feel like a schoolgirl who finally has the attention of the team captain. I close my eyes, remembering the night before. Jagger kept me on edge until he allowed me to have my orgasm. I don’t even know how it is possible to be so good at sex. I have never experienced anything like that before. You know when someone touches you, and you feel the butterflies flying in the pit of your stomach. No? Well, I didn’t know it either until now. Every touch coming from that man is absolutely divine. I pull the blanket awa
Jagger POVMy phone rings, and I blink several times, pulling my arm from under Calliope and rolling to answer it. “Hello,” I let out in a whisper as I stood up and walked into the bathroom attached to my room. The light turns on with the movement, and I frown, adjusting my eyes to the bright light. “We have him,” Dash says on the other side, and I rest a hand on the sink as I stare blankly into the mirror. I let out a breath and bent my head slightly to try to assimilate the words Dash was saying to me. “He is in a hotel downtown,” Dash adds, and I take a deep breath. It’s not the first time we had Petrov but he escaped. The doctor ended up giving us more information than we thought he knew, but Petrov is fucking smart, and by the time we got to him, he was fucking gone. “Jagger, are you listening to me?” Dash asks, and I nod my head even though my brother can’t really see me doing so. “Jagg,” Dash lets out, and I can hear the concern in his voice. “Yes, give me twenty and I’ll m
Callie POVPacking my things has been emotional. I don’t really know what to take with me. How long am I going to be with him? I don’t want to overpack because I don’t want him thinking I am thinking about just moving in, but I also don’t want to underpack.I let out an exasperated breath as I sat on the floor, folding t-shirts and putting them in my overnight bag, which I had pulled from the wardrobe. I watch as Jagger watches me with his phone in his hand. His knuckles are white with the strength of his grip on his phone. I frown, looking at him standing up. Jagger’s eyes move with me, and once I am in front of him, his eyes soften, and he shoves his phone into his pocket. “Is everything okay?” I ask, and Jagger nods slightly. He is not a very good liar, which is not really good for a lawyer of his caliber. Jagger’s hands move to my lower back, pulling me closer as he buries his nose on my neck, inhaling deeply. “Look at me,” I say as I cradle his face between my hands and his bea
Hey Everyone.I am sorry for the inexistent updates. I have been struggling lately with my mental health and being extremely tired as I work full time, have two kids, a fantastic partner, and a house to take care of, not to mention writing. It's been a crazy couple of months, and I needed time to rest, catch up on some rest, and spend time with my family without worrying about writing. I was waking up at 4 in the morning so I could write and then get myself ready for work and the girls ready for school and nursery, all before 6:30 am. It was insane how I was living on so little sleep. I decided to prioritize my health and family, so I disappeared for a little while. I lost a lot of money doing so, but now I am back, and I will do my best to give you daily updates. So please be patient with me, and remember, we authors are just humans. We understand it is frustrating for you because you want to know what happens next, but it is also frustrating for us if we are so tired we can't even
Callie POVWhen the airplane lands, Jagger holds my hand and brings it to his lips, placing a small kiss. I smile, looking at him as he takes a deep breath. “Everything will change as soon as we get out of this plane,” Jagger says, and I nod. I am used to the press being around me, but I also know Jagger has a lot more attention than I do. We leave the plane and walk down the airport holding hands, but as soon as we get out, the flashes almost blind me as Jagger’s and my name keep being shouted. I frown, and Jagger pulls me closer to him. Immediately, we are surrounded by three guys. They are huge, and they create a barrier between us and the press. “Jagger, is it true you helped Miss Flores?” One journalist shouts, but Jagger stays quiet as we walk. I knew he had much more attention than me, but this is ridiculous. We have literal bodyguards. I’ve never seen Jagger walking around with Bodyguards, to be honest. But he probably doesn’t really need it. Look at the size of him. He is h
Callie POVJagger’s hands keep me in place against his body while my back is pressed against the bathroom door. The jealousy bubbling inside my heart is more significant than I care to admit. Jagger, looking at that woman, felt like a slap in the face. She looks so much like his ex. I never thought her ghost would be a problem in our relationship. But now I know she is not a ghost. She is a real woman. A woman Jagger didn’t know existed. Jagger moves our bodies, and I can’t help but gasp as he places me on the sink. Jagger spreads my legs, positioning himself between them; his hands move fast, lifting my top. As he pulls my top off, we stop kissing, and when our eyes meet, I feel a little cold in my stomach. His eyes look hungry, full of desire and intensity. Jagger’s hands cradle my face, forcing me to look at him while we both pant, trying to catch our breaths, “I am sorry, Callie,” Jagger says, and I arch my brows as I stare into those beautiful blue eyes and offer him a small sm
Jagger POV“Bella?” I let out once more. The girl looks at me with the most puzzled expression on her face. Her eyes meet mine, and I don’t see the spark they once had in them. Her face is the same except for the small scar over her eye. Bella didn’t have it. My heart is beating so fast that I feel like I am about to die of a heart attack. “Sorry?” She says. Geez, the voice. So many nights, I got drunk, thinking I would never hear the melodic tone of her voice, and now she is here, in front of me. Breathing. Alive. How? “What are you doing here? You died, how?” I let out between breaths. I don’t even know how I can speak right now. My brain is fuzzy, as if it can’t believe my eyes. How is this? What the fuck. “I am sorry, sir, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she says, and I frown as I look at her. It’s her. There’s not a chance in the world another woman would look and sound exactly like her. “I think you must be confusing me with someone else,” she says, and I shake my he
Jagger POVI can tell Calliope never traveled in first class. She didn’t have to tell me. The way her eyes scan the individual pods on the airplane and then the screen in front of her. I booked a double pod because I don't want to stay one minute away from her, but even with the double pod, you can close a small window and have some privacy. Not that she will need it. I have every intention of getting her to join the Mile High Club. “Good Afternoon. Would you like a glass of champagne?” the flight attendant asks with a huge smile. I shake my head, but Calliope smiles, grabbing a glass for herself. “Can I offer you another drink?” she asks.“Whiskey, neat,” I say, and she smiles before she walks away to get my drink. I know I could be a little nicer, but the nicer I am, the more attention I’ll get, and right now, I want all the attention on the beautiful woman sitting next to me, examining the menu on the TV in front of her seat. “It has a remote controller,” she says with an excited
Callie POV“Call me when you land,” Mom says as she hugs me tightly. Dad shakes Jagger’s hand at the same time, and then Mom hugs Jagger. I thought he would look and feel uncomfortable, but he didn’t. He looked relaxed, as If my Mom hugging him is the most normal thing in the world. “I will,” I say before we leave the house. Jagger guides me to a black car waiting for us. The driver puts my suitcase in the trunk while Jagger opens the door for me. I wave at my parents before I get in, and I see several people watching us. People here are not used to seeing luxury cars in the street. It’s not like this is a rich area. Jagger sits next to me, closing the door, and I can’t control the single tear rolling down my cheek. Jagger clears the tear with his finger and then kisses my forehead before pulling me into his arms. The drive to the airport doesn’t take long, and as soon as the car stops the driver gets out and opens the door for us. Jagger gets out and offers me his hand and I take
