Davina Willis is on her own. In her early twenties, she has been cut off from her previously lavish lifestyle and is struggling to find her way as an adult. When Davina drags her friends into the Striped Elephant, an unassuming and dingy dive bar, she meets Harry, a callous, and cryptic bartender. When she witnesses a man being robbed and shot outside that very bar only a few nights later, who other than that bartender is there to make things even more confusing and mysterious? 

Tangled up in drugs, violence, and underground fighting, she will uncover the cold truth behind the man who she assumed was merely just an asshole bartender.

Blood and Desire

23 parts Ongoing Mature

Lennon Hayes was born in a world that chews people up and spits them out. She's seen what happens when people rely on love, on promises-they get left behind. That's why she keeps her head down, keeps her heart locked up, and keeps running from the ghosts of her past. Then she meets Knox Mercer. He's everything she should avoid. Cold. Untouchable. Wrapped in ink and arrogance, with money that whispers of violence and power. His name carries weight in the underground-the kind people don't say too loudly. Illegal fights, high-stakes bets, blood-stained cash. He should be a villain in her story. But villains have a way of making you feel safe when the world never has. Knox doesn't lose-not in the ring, not in life. He climbed his way out of nothing with his fists and a ruthless reputation. Now, he owns more than just the fights-he owns the city, the debts people owe, the fear in their eyes. Lennon doesn't belong in his world, and he doesn't belong in hers. But she's the first person in years to look at him like he's not a monster, and he's the first person to make her want to stop running. But Knox's empire wasn't built on kindness. The same money that keeps her safe could just as easily destroy them both. And in his world, nothing stays untouched forever. "You think money makes you untouchable?" "No, sweetheart. I make me untouchable."
