Novel & Cerita Ranking Cormac Mccarthy Books

“I’m not being disloyal. I just thought it was odd the laird would wager what we don’t have.” “Since we won’t lose, it really isn’t an issue,” Maddie said, patting Mary’s arm. “Oh, look, Gannon’s won his bout and now ’tis Cormac’s turn!” Christina exclaimed. “He’s ever so handsome, isn’t he?” The women around Christina smiled indulgently. Maddie leaned forward and whispered “Our Christina has eyes for Cormac.” Mary observed the way Christina’s cheeks went pink as soon as Cormac strode into the circle. His shirt was off and the muscles bulged and rippled in his arms. He did make a fine sight. Not as fine a sight as Edward, but still not bad at all.

Killing a woman who posts no threats to her is too much. As the hired man approached Marie Arnold, his footsteps echoing softly in the dimly lit alleyway, he felt a familiar surge of adrenaline coursing through his veins. He had always been killing, and this is the same feeling he always feels whenever he is about to kill someone. He knew what he had been tasked to do, but as he drew closer to his target, he couldn't shake the nagging feeling of doubt that gnawed at the edges of his conscience.

“It’s somewhere safe. A place where no one is going to find you.” I’m still trying to decide if that sounds hot as sin or absolutely terrifying coming from him as he roars the SUV to life and peels out into the night. Chapter Two Cormac They say I’m the best there is at what it is I do. Some people think it’s because I’m married to the job, so to speak. That I know no other life than the rule of the gun and primal urge to hunt and to bring down. Others think it’s my military background, that the Marines hammered rigorous discipline into me like a machine.

“Sorry, but I can’t drink. I’m on duty, and my main goal is to protect Alexandre. I prefer to stay sharp in case of any incident.” “I understand. I was once like you, loyal to the Carluccios.” He goes to the small minibar, pours two glasses, then takes a seat behind the desk. “Tell me, what brings you here, Alexandre?” “To be honest, I need your help.” “My help? What could I offer you when you have everything that once belonged to your father and Lombardi?” He asks, somewhat confused. “As you probably know, Lieutenant Amato was murdered, and with him, we lost a great ally in obtaining certain privileged information.”

“Don’t be too mad at him. I threatened to break his fingers if he didn’t tell me what he knew, and after that, it was easy to get Cyber to dig into the name on the paperwork for the bar.” He had threatened to break Bobby’s fingers? And who the hell was Cyber? “You’ve seen Cyber, he's the one with all the tattoos.” I nodded, still not able to remember. Not that it mattered right then anyway. “This ex of yours is dead?” Fang went straight back to business. His face set in a grim line. I nodded mutely

The same one that had helped me remove Maeve O’Connell from my path when she became too much of an obstacle. A soft smile tugged at my lips. Maeve had been a fighter. But even fighters fall when their body stops listening to them. And now… Ciara would learn the same lesson. I tucked the vial into the hidden pocket of my coat just as the front door slammed open. Cormac stormed in, face flushed with anger, shoulders tight with barely contained rage. “Where is he?” he snapped. “Where’s Declan?” I sighed dramatically, turning toward him with the practiced softness he always fell for. “Cormac, darling, what’s happened?”

I'm about to pull the cigar out when Bryce walks in. “It better be worth it.” “Mr Reynolds Saint-McCarthy gave me a reply. He wants to meet.” I raise my head with interest and a thud is heard as I release the man’s body. He's still alive, but weak. Bryce will finish him off. “Arrange a meeting and the money.” Reynolds' past crimes are coming back to haunt him. I let out a devilish smile, the thought of destroying that family feels so satisfying. Watch your back, Vaughn Saint-McCarthy. La bete is coming for you!

I can’t believe this is happening. THE END (Keep an eye out, there's an Epilogue chapter and a couple of chapters for Killian and Theo)
