The Last Pew at St Agnes, a mafia romance concept package. The graphic shows 3 novel covers and the free lead magnet, The Usher at the Side Door.

The concept

At St Agnes in Queens, the people who sit up front exchange vows. The people at the back know which marriages were ordered. For three weddings, somebody in the last pew must decide whether to help an adult walk out, speak up or stay for the right reasons. Choosing a lover in full view of a crime family carries a price measured in loyalties.

Theresa is certain her sister wants out. Lou is equally certain she has mistaken nerves for fear. A hand at the small of her back steadies her during the rehearsal and makes everything between the two of them considerably worse. The free companion novella is The Usher at the Side Door.

The worldThe invented crime family uses wedding attendance to signal allegiance. Church staff have no part in its orders. Each adult can end a courtship. A public choice can make a former ally dangerous.

Intended readershipFor adult mafia romance readers who want forbidden attachments, family loyalties and a dangerous man forced to choose a side.
