A Separate Life

College came with a lot of choices, and Dougie had more than most. He had to choose between his career and Cherelle, the woman he'd fallen in love with. The problem was Cherelle had a boyfriend, but not just any boyfriend. She was with the basketball star that shined all over Loyola Marymount University. Every woman wanted him; every man wanted to be him; he was a god among mortals. Filled with hatred and jealousy, Dougie put his all into his career, a hit man. He was a focused, meticulous, cold-blooded killer that apologized for nothing until he began hanging out with Cherelle. She changed his heart and his mind, and soon he was one man living two separate lives. When those lives begin to merge, Dougie could see his quandary was bigger than him. The choice was simple, but would getting out be that easy? Would confessing what he'd been doing at night be the right thing to do? How would she look at him knowing he was a hired killer? He needed to get out before any more blood was spilled, but he wasn't going anywhere without Cherelle.
