Sons of the Asphalt (Roche Pride Book 2)

Sons of the Asphalt is a gritty, emotionally-charged tale of bloodlines, betrayal, and the unrelenting fight for identity in a world where violence writes the rules.

In the heart of a city soaked in blood and silence, Leonardo Roche stands at a crossroads. Born into a dynasty of crime and shadowed by the legacy of his father, Levon Roche, he’s spent his life resisting the weight of expectations. But when he uncovers one final act of cruelty—a stolen urn belonging to a nameless, forgotten boy—Leonardo’s quiet rebellion erupts into open defiance. No longer willing to wear a crown built on suffering, he declares war on the very man who made him.

Across the asphalt, Viper, a hardened outlaw with a violent past, wants only one thing: to shield his stepson, Vance, from the world that nearly destroyed him. But ghosts don’t rest easily, and Levon Roche’s reach is long. When blackmail and buried secrets threaten everything Viper holds dear, he’s dragged back into the life he tried to leave behind. Caught between loyalty and love, he must decide what kind of legacy he’s willing to leave behind.

By Viper’s side is Hudson, a fiercely loyal enforcer whose allegiance begins to fray as the cost of obedience rises. As the lines between right and wrong blur, he’s forced to confront the truth: some wars aren’t meant to be won—they’re just meant to be survived.

As Leonardo and Viper hurtle toward a violent reckoning, Sons of the Asphalt unfolds as a raw, razor-edged story about the war between fathers and sons, the ghosts we carry, and the fragile threads of loyalty that can either bind us or break us. In a world built on scars and silence, where every promise has a price, only one truth remains: blood may bind, but it also burns.

Perfect for readers of crime dramas, gritty family sagas, and emotionally driven thrillers, this is a story of legacy, love, and the chaos we inherit.
