Detective Rita Rawlins got the ten-sixty-five call "Armed Robbery in Progress." Rita arrived at the Riverside Savings and Loan to find the security guard killed. It quickly became less about a robbery and more about a precision hit with zero clues. Except one of the bullets is laced with poison.
When Rita falls in love with the number one suspect, she struggles to keep the separation needed to solve the case and make an arrest.
Haunted by the death of Tony, her partner, Rita is suspended from the force. She has never been the kind of cop who leaves the job behind. She wants back in.
When her brother goes missing, Rita has no choice but to ask the suspected killer for help. Along the way, the two forge a fragile trust, but this new partnership is put to the test when the case takes an unexpected and dangerous turn.
Riverside's Perfect Murder brings these two powerful people together in a riveting story that unfolds with furious momentum.

Phoenix by bossbitch3000

My entire body felt on fire under his intense gaze. I tried my best to avoid eye contact as he towered over me, but once my eyes met his, the usual amber color of his orbs went darker and darker until they were now of a fervent brown shade and his pupils dilated drastically. The sight shocked me, causing goosebumps to rise all across my arms as electricity shot up my spine and my stomach erupted not in butterflies, but rather, I'd say in pterodactyls. It was both a terrifying and mesmeric sight... ___________________________________________ After being dared to kiss the first person to enter the dark room, 19 year old Essence later finds out that the person she kissed, 21 year old Phoenix, is her hand to hand combat trainer in her new assassin's school. Will the chemistry between them lead to a successful love formula? Or will it all combust? ___________________________________________ #9collegeromance (12/14/2019) #1assassinschool (6/6/2020) #1teammates (26/2/2021) #1spying (9/14/2020) #2russia (9/22/2020) #1boxing (18/3/2021) #4illegal (30/8/2021) #1assassin (11/9/2021)

V is for Violet (COMPLETE) by Bailey-Elizabeth

-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out. Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love. Book 1 of the Rough Love Novels
