A LIFE CHOSEN

A recent promotion leads Mathias Beauvais—an ambitious captain in the Montreal mafia—and his subordinate, Rayan Nadeau, to uncover a deeper plot to betray the very organization they work for. With their loyalty in question and their lives on the line, the two find themselves drawn to each other, fighting a pull that has been present since their first meeting.

Mathias has spent years having to prove himself, combating the stigma of his birth to establish his place within the family’s ranks. But when succession threatens to overturn the group, he finds his priorities have shifted from his own advancement to the man at his side.

Rayan had nothing before he met Mathias. In an effort to hide the true nature of his devotion to his boss, he’s dedicated himself entirely to Mathias’s success. However, as the situation becomes increasingly dire, his feelings for Mathias threaten to hinder his ability to protect him.

A LIFE BETRAYED

The Feds have taken a renewed interest in the spate of criminal activity in Quebec, and Mathias Beauvais, a consigliere in the Montreal mafia, discovers it’s not just him they’re after. Can he deal to this challenge like the ones before, or is it possible he’s no longer the man he once thought he was?

Despite his desire for a new life, Rayan Nadeau’s past has caught up to him, and he’s thrown back into the very world he tried to escape. With Mathias willing to put Rayan’s freedom before his own, he may have to abandon all hope of them remaining together.

Inspector Frances Allen is a seasoned federal officer with a reputation to uphold. When she’s called in to head the investigation into Mathias, she quickly discovers that she’s met her match in the imposing mafioso. As their game of cat and mouse turns deadly, Frances is forced to question not only her commitment to the job but her own sense of justice.

A LIFE IMAGINED

Having cut ties with the family, former mafioso Mathias Beauvais adjusts to the challenges of staying on the right side of the law—for the most part, at least. When his business draws the attention of a prominent criminal group intent on using it to disguise their smuggling operation, he may have to fall back on a few well-worn tactics to keep them at bay.

Spurred on by a deep-seated need for redemption, Rayan Ayari finds himself drawn into the escalating conflict between the residents of Calais and the city’s growing refugee population and is forced to confront the possibility that he may never absolve himself from the deeds of the past.

Meanwhile, Mathias and Rayan navigate a future together in which hiding is no longer a necessity and begin to realize just how much they’ve come to rely on one another. But when chaos strikes the Montreal underground, Mathias receives a surprise visitor from his old life who challenges his resolve to leave the family and brings his newly built world into question.
