"Shot Through the Heart" by CJ Bishop
Although this is the first book in the Cowboy Gangster series, it is built off of a different series, which I have not read. I figured as much while I was reading it since so many other characters who were not in the story were mentioned and played integral parts. This book focused on Axel Anders a 22-year-old man who's suffering from PTSD after being gang raped by his brother and three other evil men. Clint Maddox, the "cowboy gangster," feels very protective of Axel after meeting him through Axel's (good) stepbrother, Angel. Clint is a cold-hearted enforcer for the Sanitini family and is surprised by these feelings. The book basically deals with both men tentatively growing closer with lots of flashbacks to awful events in their lives. It was quite a roller coaster ride. And there was a cute puppy. 295 pages (Kindle edition).
