Join Carolyn Bowen’s ARC Street Team for Book 2 of The Legacy Series

Dear readers and reviewers, I am thrilled to introduce you to my latest series, an Italian Mafia thriller, with the first book, “The Death of Me,” now available. As an author, I value your support and appreciate the opportunity to share my work with you.

In “The Death of Me,” we follow the story of David, a man committed to making a positive impact on the world through philanthropic efforts. However, when his friend is brutally murdered, David is thrust into a leadership role within his family’s underworld business, which forces him to navigate the dangerous world of organized crime.

As David struggles to maintain his moral compass amidst betrayal and violence, he finds himself drawn to a young female intelligence agent, despite her ties to the Italian authorities, which threaten to bring him down. With danger lurking around every corner, David must fight to stay alive and protect those he loves, while confronting the dark secrets of his own bloodline. Set in the beautiful landscape of Tuscany, “The Death of Me” is a gripping tale of love, loss, and redemption that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

The Death of Me

Book two in the Legacy Series is also in the works and will be available for advanced readers by the end of the year.
