A stunning Southern Gothic saga set against the 1980s/1990s Louisiana bayou, New Orleans, an elite New England boarding school, and New York City. The series includes five books: Sins of Yesterday, Daddy’s Boy, Ties That Bind, Promises We Keep, and When Fallen Angels Fly.
Then Arizona’s daddy loses his job, and things go from bad to worse. He baits Arizona into a fight, and their brawl results in him and his brothers and sister being split up by Social Services. Arizona is determined to make a better man of himself and take care of his siblings, but he’s up against a world controlled by adults, small town prejudices, and unfathomable family secrets that will change everything he thought he knew about himself.
“Retro Southern Gothic at its absolute finest. The entire book rings so true to every book, movie, and television series, from my youth.” ~Brandyn, Goodreads reviewer
“You will be touched by Mr. Preminger’s words. The author has achieved the “feel” of a poor boy in rural Louisiana through his language and cadence.” ~Linda Reads, VINE VOICE
“Romeo Preminger always crafts a gripping story, but he’s outdone himself with Sins of Yesterday. These characters! The drama! This one is edge of your seat, mind blowing, can not put it down, superb.” ~Trio, Amazon reviewer

Home for the summer, Arizona sets out to find his younger brothers and sister, who were scattered to different places when their family was torn apart. Along the way, he reunites with his tenth grade sweetheart, Preston Montclair, who still holds a torch for him.
But Arizona is struggling to figure out the man he’s supposed to be. He’s got an obligation to his daddy, who wants to mold him as his heir, but he’s also got a responsibility to his wayward siblings. It feels like he’s swimming against the rapids, trying to do both while figuring out if he belongs with his boyhood love or an educated man who can help him with his dream of being a famous writer.
“I really loved his journey, it was so intriguing and sadly still relevant towards people who don’t fall into “societal norms.” ~Cindy Green, Goodreads Reviewer
“Following a young guy, growing up, going through life, a life that isn’t easy for him, making choices, some right, some less, but always with the best intention, it was everything. It’s an extraordinary story, widely, exquisitely, and extraordinarily written. For me, in its genre a masterpiece. A must-read!” ♥♥♥♥♥ Love Bytes Reviews

While back in Louisiana, he’s also faced by his boyhood love, Preston Montclair, and Gaston Bondurant, Arizona’s secret, wealthy father whose growing public profile creates new problems for the two of them. Arizona could go back to New York, live the life he’d planned, and not have to worry about small town problems and small-minded people. But the ties that bind are strong and have him questioning where and who he’s supposed to be.
“When you read the blurb, you could think it will be a final easy read working to an end, well, forget it. Life isn’t easy for Arizona, never was and probably never will. At twenty-two, he’s been through enough already for a whole lifetime.” ★★★★1/2 Love Bytes Reviews
“This was such a great series! I’m sad its over.” ★★★★★ Chelsea Moore, Goodreads Reviewer
“I absolutely loved this emotional rollercoaster conclusion to Arizona’s story! As with the first two books in this series, which I highly recommend reading in order, I was hooked straight from the beginning.” ~Lydia Devlin, Goodreads reviewer

At twenty-eight years old, Arizona is working for his politician father and raising his five-year-old son Chase with his partner Preston. Settling down in Louisiana hadn’t been his first choice. Now that Chase is going to school, he’s hoping to get back to his career as a writer and move his family to New York City where life will be easier for a gay couple raising a son.
There’s two problems with that plan, though. The first is Preston who’s content with living in a small town, even if it means pretending he and Arizona are just friends for the sake of his Christian family. The second is Gaston Bondurant, Arizona’s daddy. He won’t stand for his grandson being thousands of miles away, and the way he spoils Chase exacerbates the tensions that have always been a problem for Arizona and Preston. Arizona feels caught in the middle, and he’s starving for somebody to appreciate his hopes and dreams. When a handsome marketing associate from a big publisher takes an interest in his writing and him personally, Arizona faces a big temptation.
