Inhaltsangabe

A hustler. A kept boy. Maybe they're made for each other. Maybe that's the problem.

Sal has been hustling to survive since he landed on the streets at seventeen. He thought he'd finally gotten out when he shacked up with a nightclub owner who gave him his first legit job. Then the mob came calling for unpaid debts and cleaned house, sending Sal on the run with a stolen watch and a couple bucks in his pocket.

He's back to zero, only now he's outside New York City, where he doesn't even know what rackets to work. At twenty-eight, he's tired of living like a street punk.

Sal skirts the train conductor as far as Beacon, a tiny dump of a town. With rain pouring down, he takes refuge in the luncheonette of a fading motor lodge. A sign says they're looking for help, which gets Sal's mental gears working. If there's one thing he knows, it's how to put on the charm. Maybe he can work his way into a situation. Maybe he can get his hand into the cash register.

Then he meets the manager, Will.

The kid belongs in the movies, not running a roadside motel in the middle of nowhere. He's sharp, too, and doesn't take shit from anyone, including Sal. It's been a long time since someone put Sal this off-balance.

But Sal's just got to draw him in, romance him a little. Will's sleeping in a one-bedroom apartment with the motel owner, George, who's old enough to be his father. Sal knows the type.

The problem is, the more time Sal spends with Will, the harder it is to think of him as just a mark. They're two sides of the same coin, aren't they? Sal's starting to feel like there could be more than a quick trick and a cash grab in his future. In their future.

They just need to get George out of the way.

But who's drawing in who? Or are they just two hustlers headed straight to hell together?

Twice is the sixth standalone novel in the Guilty Pleasures Editions.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

The people who come into our lives have the power to change everything. Romeo Preminger writes stories about the relationships that define us, the ones that nearly break us, and the ways they change our lives forever. Whether exploring love, family, friendship, or the possibilities in chance encounters, his novels take readers on unexpected journeys where the lines between danger and safety blur. Rather than writing to fit a particular genre, Romeo writes stories first. What unites them is emotionally honest storytelling, unforgettable characters, and suspenseful, surprising turns that challenge what we think we know about human relationships. If you've ever stayed up far too late because you couldn't bear to leave a character behind, then you've already experienced the kind of stories Romeo loves to write. His novels are unafraid to break your heart, keep you guessing, and stay with you long after you've turned the final page. Because the people who come into our lives don't just change our stories. They become part of them.
