Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

John and Brea have lived very different lives. His began as a
near orphan in New York City, where he became involved with, and
practically raised by, the mob; accepted as a man of honor by his
fellow mobsters, young and old. His involvement in an incident, one
resulting in the death of his childhood friend, lands him in
prison. He now wears not only some physical scars, he carries a
consuming agony and guilt over this night that took the life of his
friend. Brea Rhodes is a golden girl, a sweetheart of Hollywood. A
famous starlet, she is swarmed by rumor-hungry paparazzi; despite
her success, however, there's something sad about the young
beauty.
After his release from prison, John accepts an offer from a
senior fellow mobster, and also fatherly figure to John, to head
out west and tend to a faltering business...he, seemingly by
chance, runs into Brea one day at a deli. He also makes the
acquaintance of enigmatic Hollywood agent to the stars named Gabe.
Something about John interests Gabe, and Gabe invites John to a
fancy celebrity gala he's hosting. Brea also happens to attend, and
soon John and Brea find they have more in common than they
imagined.
Their love affair is rapid and passionate. They can't get enough
of each other, and John feels the need to keep her protected from
his past and from the paparazzi. Soon, turmoil resulting from the
death of his fatherly, senior mobster back east, calls John home.
He must now choose between the life he once lived and the life he
hopes to start with Brea. What will his final alliance be, and will
John be able to protect his butterfly from the oncoming storm?

found in sincerity, found in truth.
