Read! Dave East & Ari

At twelve years old, Melody Reign Saldana learned that monsters don't hide under beds - they wear designer suits and carry loaded guns. After witnessing a ruthless drug lord execute her parents in cold blood, Melody was forced into a life she never chose. Raised by her powerful uncle Alejandro in the deadly streets of Miami, she grew into something far more dangerous than a grieving little girl. Now twenty-two, Melody is one of the most feared contract killers in the city. Beautiful, cold-hearted, and impossible to catch, she leaves behind nothing but bodies... and a lipstick-stained kiss on every victim. Revenge is the only thing keeping her alive, and she'll stop at nothing until the men responsible for her parents' deaths are buried six feet under. But everything changes when she crosses paths with Kane Blackwell - a twenty-nine-year-old homicide detective haunted by a tragedy of his own. After losing his parents to murder at just eight years old, Kane dedicated his life to putting killers behind bars. He's smart, relentless, and dangerously close to uncovering Miami's bloodiest secrets. What starts as a game of cat and mouse quickly turns into something neither of them expected. Because the closer Kane gets to solving his cases... the closer he gets to Melody. In a city ruled by money, violence, and betrayal, love could be the deadliest mistake of all.

Everybody in Chicago knows Dr. Amaris Alvarez. They know the surgeon. The gifted hands. The impossible surgeries. The spotless reputation. They don't know where he goes when the scrubs come off. Amaris has spent years perfecting the separation between the life he chose and the one he inherited. In one, he's trusted to open a man's skull and put him back together. In the other, men twice his age wait for him to speak before they make a move. Two lives. Two different kinds of blood on his hands. And only one rule. Never let them touch. Then Cataleya Reyes walks into his operating room. As one of the newest faces training under Chicago's most respected surgeon, Cataleya knows exactly what she's supposed to do. Watch. Learn. Keep up. Getting close to Dr. Alvarez was never part of the plan. Neither was realizing that the quiet, calculated man behind the surgical mask feels strangely familiar. Months later, an invitation brings Cataleya into a private world she was raised to never speak about. A world of powerful families, old alliances, whispered names, and men who don't introduce themselves because everyone already knows who they are. That's where she sees him. Not Dr. Alvarez. Amaris. And suddenly, Cataleya understands why her brother already knows his name. The man she has spent months standing beside in an operating room isn't trapped in the criminal world surrounding them. He sits at the head of it. Cataleya has secrets of her own. Amaris has an empire built on his. And somewhere between the operating room and the underworld, they make the mistake of becoming the one thing neither of them can afford. Important to each other. Because in Amaris Alvarez's world, people don't come for the king first. They come for what he loves. THE DEVIL WEARS SCRUBS Some men are trained to save lives. Some are raised to take them. Amaris Alvarez was taught to do both. Started: June 24, 2026 Ended:

SEQUEL TO THE ART OF MANIPULATION Jonika thought the bullet ended everything-his empire, his hold on her heart, and the man she loved but was forced to betray. She tried to rebuild, to bury the grief under the illusion of a normal life. But grief doesn't stay buried. It claws. It festers. And some ghosts don't stay dead. When fate drags Jonika back into the shadows she thought she'd escaped, she finds herself hunted by the very man she once destroyed. His face is the same, his eyes colder, his love and fury tangled into something she can't escape. Now she doesn't know if he has returned to reclaim her heart... or claim her life.

She's a man-eater with a badge and a body count of broken hearts. As a DEA agent, Jonika's mastered the art of seduction, manipulation, and emotional detachment - using her beauty like a weapon and keeping her feelings locked behind armor no one gets past. But when her mission leads her straight into the arms of a dangerously magnetic man, the game changes. He's charming, calculated, and unknowingly the exact criminal she's been sent to take down. By the time she pieces together who he truly is, he's already slipped past her defenses - touching something real beneath the surface she swore no one would ever reach. Now, with a federal sting operation closing in, Jonika stands on a razor's edge: turn him in and complete the mission... or betray everything she's sworn to protect for the only man who ever made her feel something.

He was supposed to be getting married. She was never supposed to matter. Kyomi Simmons wasn't looking for love-just peace. After rebuilding herself from a toxic past, she finally found stability in her routine, her business, and her growth. Then she met him. Once by chance. Twice by coincidence. And the third time? On an island where he was celebrating his last days as a single man. Asaan Carter had everything planned-his career, his future, his fiancée. Until one unexpected connection made him question everything he thought he wanted. What happens when the woman you're about to marry offers you a hall pass... And the only person you can see yourself using it on is someone you were never supposed to want? No strings. No expectations. And one rule: What happens in Jamaica stays in Jamaica. But some choices don't come without consequences... And some connections don't stay where you leave them.
