Forensic anthropologist Madeleine Carter has spent years uncovering the truth hidden in bones, but this time, the truth might just get her killed. She's a genius. A prodigy. Years ahead of her peers, with a mind sharp enough to pull secrets from the dead. Where others see fragments, she sees the full story. When her latest case makes her the target of an unknown enemy, the FBI assigns her a bodyguard. "Orlov" as they call him --a man whose past is as deadly as the threats against her. Orlov is silent, calculating, and entirely unreadable, and while he's meant to keep her safe, something about him feels just as dangerous as the forces working against her. ***** forensic anthropologist: Identification of the deceased. [she basically studies the bones] ***** "You know, for someone who spends so much time with the dead, you might want to learn how to tolerate the living" *****

-MYSTERY- I'm dead. Deceased. Definitely not breathing. Laying in my favorite striped bikini, the one that fit the absolute best, and showed off my gym body. But none of that matters now. Not when you're dead. I feel nothing too. Void of any kind of physical sensation. Have you ever wondered what death would be like? I can tell you my experience, what I know about it that is, so far. "Oh my God!! Do you see that??" "Someone call 911!!" "Why isn't anyone helping her??" "She is surely dead.." Murder mystery that is sure to ensnare. Can you figure out who the killer is among all the secrets?

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).

❝Human by Day and Wolf by Night.❞ But what would you do if you saw one in broad daylight? - * - Abigail wasn't prepared to hear that she and her parents were moving, she viewed it as a cover-up to move away from everything they've ever known and from the problems that have caused her family pain. But in the end, it was so much more. This new town was different; secluded around acres of trees and miles away from the next living city of civilization. Her Dad's company strikes a business deal, resulting in their leave. . or so she originally thought. Once there, the town's people began to act peculiar; sniffing the air whenever she strolled past and gaping at her as if they hadn't seen another human being in their life, or maybe that was just the case. Abigail isn't the one to be curious about most things, especially when things begin to accumulate bizarre events They all had one common emotion continuously gleaming in their eyes when they veered her way, and she began to question the town itself from that point forward. The growls, the changing of eye color, the animalistic ways- this town carries mysteries that set her ablaze with curiosity. She's set on finding that out after a frightening encounter in the woods. As they say 'Curiosity killed the cat' so what happens when she realizes that figuring out these secrets is putting her in danger, more than she could have ever imagined? ___________ C O V E R- @ska.w.barnes T R A I L E R- @auratics ___________ Highest Rank : #5 in Werewolf ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ® Copyright © 2016-2017 by XxRiah916Xx

Please, try not to hate her. She's just a girl, after all. She's still figuring things out and doesn't understand what love truly means. She's never learned how to love or be loved. It's not entirely her fault. Others should have tried harder to understand her instead of blaming her. They left her feeling abandoned and labeled her as a monster. She's lost in a whirlwind of emotions she can't comprehend. So please, don't condemn her. ________________ Entry for the 8 Chapter Challenge and I have succeeded in it!!
