Enforcer — E.J. Fechenda

When an ordinary day at his construction job turns into a bloodbath, Grant Ross' life is changed forever. After killing a man in self-defense, Grant is thrust into a world he never knew existed: a world of power, money and death.

A meeting in a dimly lit nightclub with Marco, head of the Grabano crime family, seals Grant's fate. Struggling to find a balance between life as a college student and his lucrative new job as an enforcer for the Philly mob, Grant eventually has to make a choice and he knows he's in too deep to walk away from the mafia.

Grant gets in even deeper when he meets Miranda Grabano. They have a connection, but she's the boss' daughter and off limits. As he navigates his way through the criminal underworld and into Miranda's heart, life gets more challenging after his sister moves to Philadelphia to attend school. Grant has always looked out for Natalie and practically raised her. Now that she's in the city he does everything he can to keep her away from the truth and shield her from the violence that surrounds him, but at what cost? A snap decision is made and Grant realizes too late that he may have opened the door to Natalie sharing his fate.
