Ushering in the new week with another Rachel's Random Resources tour. This time around, we've got a spotlight shining on an ADULTS ONLY novel with a few trigger warnings, so scroll to catch those if you want to know before reading more. Anywho, there's the synopsis to give you a quick peek, and an excerpt to give you just that bit more, so let's direct that spotlight to today's blog tour guest...
For My Sins
by
S C Cunningham
About the book...
An addictive mix of 'Lock Stock', 'RocknRolla', 'Killing Eve', and 'Line of Duty'.
Knowing his days are numbered, a seasoned criminal finds his life calling, to expose and cull the sordid underbelly of the world's elite. Delicious, charming, cunning, avenging, David Howard escapes prison and agrees to an MI6 deal, to close down a high-profile trafficking ring in exchange for his freedom - setting a thief to catch a thief.
With a target on his back, he's helped by a rogue police unit, working behind the scenes to right cases that fall through the courts' fingers. In an unlikely coupling, they share a goal... and will risk everything to attain it.
A page-turning, cheeky, thought-provoking, at times laugh-out-loud, contemporary psycho-thriller, that comes with a warning.
⚠ CAUTION ⚠

~~~ EXCERPT ~~~
For My Sins by SCCunningham
Serial killer, David, has escaped prison and a warehouse fire, he
is on his way to hospital, falling in and out of consciousness.
Docklands, London
As the speeding ambulance navigated potholed streets David Howard,
hooked up to an intravenous drip, fell in and out of consciousness. A
paramedic hovered over him, checking bindings and vital signs.
They were on their way to A&E, and once they
sourced who he was, prison. No way could he let that happen, he
wasn’t done yet, he had one more debt to collect.
There was no going back,
As his head rocked from side-to-side, his hazy
mind wandered back to a time in prison, the moment the debt came into
play.
Surround by the cacophony of penitentiary life,
and unfazed by admiring stares, David Howard leisurely lorded it
along B-Section’s balcony, returning to his cell after a heavy gym
session.
From an early age he was aware of his looks, of
the evil they attracted, and how to use their power to his advantage.
Tall, dark, muscled, with regal nose, hooded eyes, controlling stare,
and a history of violence, he had a fascinating, predatory, quality.
Prisoners scrambled out of his way in a mix of awe, lust, and fear.
He never did quite understand why men and women
held such a fascination for what was, clearly, bad for them.
An older prisoner stood in a cell doorway, waiting
for him to pass, giving a polite attention seeking cough.
‘Morning Howard how are we today?’ he barked,
his crisp upper-crust British accent reeking of landed gentry,
jarringly out of place in a prison.
David stopped a few feet from the man’s door and
leaned back against the balcony railing. With tilted head, open legs,
and hands crossed at his crutch, he stood in silence, taking his time
to shamelessly survey the man’s body, head to toe.
The air’s bustle of prison life hushed, as
inmates stopped what they were doing and looked up through railings.
Showtime.
The man, enjoying the attention, puffed out his
chest, ran a bejewelled hand through expensive, shaggy, salt and
pepper hair. And jerked his chin, encouraging David to take a good
look.
‘Hello Posh… do you ever give up?’
