TOXIC by HJ Bellus & Kathy Coopmans is LIVE on ALL PLATFORMS!
I’m toxic. She’s pure. I can’t stay away.
I saved a life by taking another. It throttled me into a vortex of endless darkness with booze and sex as my only solace.
Until her.
Maria Richards brought light back into my life even through my drunken haze. For weeks, I treated her like trash. Felt guilty as hell the moment I left her bed and breakfast.
Life has a funny way of bringing back your past sins. A second chance with Maria stumbles in my path. It’s time to right my wrongs and be the man I burn to be.
I’ve never believed in redemption, and now it’s my only hope.

After everything that went down with Full Contact with Alex saving Justice and her unborn child Alex wasn’t the same. Him and Justice never wanted to be in that part of the Diamond empire. It’s why their family bought an NFL team and have them running it. They're still in the empire. They don't do the mafia side, but the business side.
But, image and image keep running thru Alex’s head. Hearing his voice over and over. Alex goes away checks into a B&B and spends his nights in bottle and women after women. Maria works there and she seems keep getting the brunt of everything he’s doing. Alex finally goes home back to reality.
Maria was glad when Alex left. She was tired of cleaning up his puke everyday. But, she felt for him bc she saw in his eyes they were void of life. He was sad and unhappy and she just wanted to save him.
Maria decides to move to Boise, Idaho and go to college. She ends up working at her Aunts bar as a bartender and gets on stage sings. One night she sees Alex sitting in a booth at the bar still wasting away in a bottle. Maria cant believe Alex is here in Idaho. But, her plan is to stay far away from him.
Alex is shocked to see Maria. He'd heard her singing at the B&B, but seeing her onstage and he is speechless. He knows he owes her an apology for how he treated her. He does so the only way he knows how and with money. But, Maria lets him know she's not that girl and puts him in his place. Alex knew then Maria was made for him, even though he's toxic and she's perfect.
These two cant help but be drawn to each other. Maria can see the good in Alex even though Alex feels he's lost a part of himself. But when he's with Maria he feels it. He continues fighting the demons that are battling inside his head. His conscience is always mixing up his feelings.
Thanks to Alex's cousin Justice, his dad Roman, whose the head of the Diamond empire, his brother and uncles, Alex goes away to get his drinking under control and plans to comeback to his job and making Maria his. Maria knows no matter what anybody says she wants Alex. And, not for his money or his empire. But, she wants Alex for Alex.
Once I opened this book I didn't put it down. Maria was a strong woman and she didn't let anybody push her around. She was quiet and let loose when she needed too. And, Alex oh man. I knew from Full Contact that I wanted him. But, wow! He was more then I'd dreamed about.
I loved how the previous Diamond clan was back and still as bad ass as before. Roan was back in a big way. He's still the head of the Diamond empire. But, we got another side or role from him. We got the daddy Roan and he loved his son and would do anything for Alex. The whole Diamond empire had me laughing and smiling and I'm hoping this series isn't over.
