The Axelridge Series Book 3 Marc's Stolen Heart

Marcus Cooper: As far as black sheep go, you talk to anyone in my family and they’ll name names, mostly mine. The thug life, mob rule, not for me. At least, now it’s not. I love my baseball career and carefree life. There was a time when I was sunk so deep, I would have never dug out if it wasn’t for Jax. Now, I’m courting his gorgeous sister and I couldn’t be happier. Of course, that means that my past has to lay the boots to me. The Vinellis broke the truce with my family and they’re looking to me to fix it. Sure. I said yes, but one wrong move and I could end up at the bottom of the lake. Claudia thinks it’s fun, I don’t. I’m trying hard to fake it, but I’m starting to doubt that I can do it for much longer. Claudia Vinelli: Yeah, it was my idea. So what? It’s just a little pretend. Skylar knows. He gave me the idea in the first place. Fleece the player for cash and furs and solve my family problems. All I need to do is pretend to like the guy. Marcus may be a famous ball player, but he’s in the clouds if he thinks he can turn his back on where he came from. From what I know, he walked away from his blood. There’s not a loyal bone in his body. I don’t need a guy like that.
