The Czarists are also after Maria's blood, because she helped to murder Czar Nicholas and his family. The Communists of Barcelona suspect her of treachery, and want to silence her ... with so many enemies, how can Maria survive the four days until the election? Mirabelle Leicester and her husband Leon, aided by their friend Lucy Baines and the policewomen Busby and Pearce, take on the task of trying to protect Maria for four days in October. There will be plenty of surprises and unexpected consequences before they can relax their vigilance!

𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗩𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲. 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐞 I am the judge, the jury, and the executioner. Francesca "Frank" Monroe. One of the most successful criminal defense attorneys in the history of Illinois. The woman everyone knows as "The dirty lawyer." But most importantly, I am the villain of my own story. I'm out for revenge, playing the long game to get to the ones who destroyed my family. That was the plan. But Hector Pierce, the feared underboss of the Pierce crime family, is standing in my way, vowing to destroy what I had left if I even think about coming for his family. I want to hate him, to run right over him and his stupid principles, but his loyalty and unmatched passion won't let me. And despite the bad blood between us, I find myself drawn to the towering, gorgeous blond man with those dark gray eyes fixed on me; eyes that refuse to back down without a ferocious fight. 𝐇𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 I am the monster everyone fears. The cold-blooded murderer who wields a blade so skillfully, you'd think it's a third hand. One of Chicago's most successful businessmen and the cruelest mafioso. Hector Pierce, underboss of the Pierce crime family. Despite my cruelty, I'm a family man. The kind of man who would kill or die for his own. But when the threat is a seemingly innocent, otherworldly beautiful brunette, all bets are off. Along with my family, I've apparently developed a new weakness. Frank Monroe. The cold and calculated lawyer who also happens to be just as deadly with guns and knives. Frankie is dangerously sharp and beautiful in a way no one should be allowed, and I've set my eyes on her. Making her mine is only a matter of time. ⚠️ 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴! ⚠️ This book contains coarse language and EXTREME violence! Read at your own risk. 🔞 ---------------------------- #3 in dark #1 in mafiaprincess

The Flat at Doughty Court by HelenLerewth

Whatever happened to the brave, sassy Mirabelle Leicester after she escaped from the clutches of the evil Doctor Oberzohn at the end of Edgar Wallace's 1924 novel 'The Three Just Men'? Where did she and Leon Gonsalez go after they drove off in Leon's big fast car? A girl as resourceful as Mirabelle was certainly not going to let her hero get away from her ... Edgar Wallace never told his readers what Mirabelle Did Next, so this story sets out to follow her and Leon to her aunt's flat at Doughty Court in Bloomsbury to find out. 84 years after the great mystery writer's death, readers can at last explore where this indefatigable pair might have travelled after they left Edgar Wallace's pages.

Substitute Wife For The Billionaire. by daisysprings_77

"Listen to me!" I raged. "Thirdly, I owe you no obligation. No personal information will be divulged. Let's do well to avoid questions like Where are you? Where are you going? What are you doing? You shall touch no possession of mine, and I'd gladly do the same!" "You're being ridiculous!" He spat. "All these rules and for what? To calm your tantrum? This is the real world, Rosa; nobody ever does what they want! Everyone sacrifices something. What are you doing!?" "Setting boundaries," I breathed. *** Rosaline Rivera, daughter of a multibillionaire fashion empire, had always been living under the shadow of her perfect sister, Julie, until she died. To make matters worse, her sister's fiancé proposed to her three years after the death of her sister. What happens when Rosa finds out she was just a mere substitute in place of her deceased sister just to save the family's business? Will she be the perfect daughter her parents want her to be and be a submissive wife to Gerald, her late sister's fiancé, who seems not to have gotten over her late sister yet? Out of spite as she decides to make her rules in the marriage, what happens when Rosa finds out the person who had killed her sister in the first place, the person whom she least expected?

Eye of the Storm (The Mystery Squad) by Jasnboom

One story. Four perspectives. When a rising centrist candidate campaigns in New York, a series of unlikely events leads four different individuals into investigating a threat on his life. April, 1992. Unlicensed PI John Baxter and his aloof partner, Rosalyn Smith, find themselves entangled with a frustratingly vague centrist candidate for president, Ralph Barrow. Rosalyn tries to uncover a scandal involving his assistant, Christine Short, while Baxter is hired to defend him from it. Meanwhile, the son Barrow's lawyer, Baxter and Rosalyn's friend Lance Donovan, soon discovers that Christine Short undermine Barrow's candidacy. At the same time, Baxter and Rosalyn's secretary, a woman nicknamed Danger, accidentally sets into motion the events that lead the other three to believe the plot against Barrow is real. Four linked short stories from four unique perspectives. Completed but not perfected. I may make edits.
