Just Like Lightning - The 5 Boroughs Series #2

Nicola Nobile

Summary

Five seconds.  
Apparently that’s how long it takes to come to the realization that your girlfriend of five years is nothing but an illusion.  And once that illusion is stripped away all that remains is an ugly soul crammed inside a filthy hateful psycho.  
Sam Cooper is a down to earth kind of guy.  He’s not overly cautious, but he’s also not one to throw caution to the wind.  In all his thirty-six year, the “craziest” thing he’d ever done was go get matching tattoos with his best friend while he was back home in New Zealand when he was seventeen.  
So when things takes an unexpected twist after his brother’s wedding, he deems himself “off the market” and tries to organize the upheaval that is his life.
