Pride: The Deadliest Sin Series, #10

By Gwyn McNamee

I've been living a lie for so long…
I don't even recognize the truth anymore.
It's been twenty years of blood and deception.
Decades of pain and living under a veil of darkness.
It blinded me from the truth.
What was right in front of me.
The thing I tried to forget and keep buried.
But now, it's rising to the surface.
It threatens to destroy more than just my plans for Chicago.
This may also decimate my pride.
And it just might cost me my life.

***Pride is the tenth book in The Deadliest Sin Series about organized crime in Chicago. This series is best read in order, as the stories are chronological and each sin builds on the events of the previous one.***

Gwyn McNamee

Gwyn McNamee is an attorney, writer, wife, and mother (to one human baby and two fur babies). Originally from the Midwest, Gwyn relocated to her husband’s home town of Las Vegas in 2015 and is enjoying her respite from the cold and snow. Gwyn has been writing down her crazy stories and ideas for years and finally decided to share them with the world. She loves to write stories with a bit of suspense and action mingled with romance and heat. When she isn’t either writing or voraciously devouring any books she can get her hands on, Gwyn is busy adding to her tattoo collection, golfing, and stirring up trouble with her perfect mix of sweetness and sarcasm (usually while wearing heels). Gwyn is the author of The Hawke Family series, The Slip Series, The Deadliest Sin Series, The Inland Seas Series, The Supernatural Love Stories in the Absurd (written as her alter-ego, DP Payne), and several stand-alone novels.
