North Side Hellion
Summary
Aiden McCarthy enjoys thieving and scheming much more than abiding by the morals of his Catholic, Irish-American, working-class parents. He has always been a pisser, but working for the North Side Gang feeds his youthful desire for action, rebellion, and romance. When Aiden's pa is injured in crossfire between Italian gangsters, he must balance adventure with duty to family. With his interest in the daughter of one of the Italians and a sense of justice in the midst of gangland competition, he must find his way through undercurrents of lust, social upheaval, and rebellion against Prohibition. Aiden McCarthy's story intertwines with Irish-American gang leader Dean O'Banion, a young Alphonse Capone, John Torrio, and other historical figures in this Jazz Age tapestry to satisfy adventure-seekers, romantics and history-lovers alike.

Sour Pineapples in Paradise
Summary
Evading gunfire is never a good way to spend the morning. Army veteran Ron Riley, a.k.a. McCallister, knows this better than most people. Sure, he cheated death again, but wasn’t life supposed to be easier after helping take down the Chicagoland mob? The familiar sound of automatic gunfire quashed any peaceful illusions from his family’s WITSEC relocation to Puerto Rico. When Ron’s wife Carey gets abducted shortly after the shootout, corporate crony crooks command him to play ball, or else. He’ll stop at nothing to protect Carey and his stepson, even if he has to feign cooperation with overconfident thugs. With the latest threats, friends both old and new lend trustworthy hands, intel, and firepower. An ethical cop, a gun-loving farmer, a maverick FBI agent, a kind neighbor, and a sexy, lethal gunwoman help set the world right. Drug peddlers, big pharma, and corrupt cops cause an uprising in the tropics of this US territory. Thrills follow Ron and Carey and their newfound alliances against ill-gained power.
