No Happy Endings

Nominated for the 2017 Anthony Award for Best NovellaFantine Park is not the woman her mother was - shes certainly not the safecracker her mother was either. Hell shes not much of anything useful these days. Fresh off parole after a stint in the joint for a poorly thought out casino robbery Fantine finds herself confronted by an old partner of her mothers and right back in the thick of it. Unfortunately the man dragging her back to the life she left behind one Aleksei Uryvich is a complete bully and an idiot - content to believe he can get anything he wants with his brutish nature and the threat of a bullet for Fans elderly father Jae. The score: semen. Yes semen. Gallons of it. Particularly the genetic man-batter from supposed Ivy Leaguers and other elite. The material nets top dollar from Asia and Aleksei is foaming at the mouth at the profit potential. The plan: there is no real plan. Fantine has to get it out of Evensight Storage; a sperm bank situated right by the Battery Park Tunnel in Manhattan. A place barely anyone but a sad sack with an empty sack sees the inside of on a day to day basis. Theres no guarantee anyone involved in this mess is getting out alive especially when Fantine finds herself face to face with the psychopath known as O Leiteiro - The Milkman.
