PROLOGUE

There are two houses in Los Angeles that you can call whenever you want a secretive dalliance with a handsome young man. Dignified? It depends on what kind of gentleman that you would prefer. But the houses themselves are modern and without repute, except for the kind talked about in whispers and behind fake profiles on the internet.

Neither house likes the other, and their grudges run deep. Once brothers and now the bitterest of enemies – they have ratcheted up their disdain to the point where blood has been spilled, and neither side can forget the harm perpetuated upon them.

Yet, somehow, love has been written in the stars for some of them – but not all will overcome. Will their pitiful lives make a difference to the strife and hate between Daddy Monty and Poppa Cappie, or will it ignite a blaze that will destroy them all?

You know the tale of Romeo and Juliet – two lovers unable to overcome the outrageous slings and arrows of fate, or the hate between their two houses of misfortune.

But what about the others trapped within the story whose lives were cut short with rage?

Be patient and be assured that a happy ever after can be achieved.

This is the tale of Ty and Mercy – whose lives and love never got a chance.

Be patient and be assured that this I will mend.
