Orcus Book Five (This book contains a love interest that is possessive and dominant. A lot more dominant than Greyson was in the first book. You have been warned, don't be complaining about it later.) 20 years after Vanessa and Greyson's story, their daughter is a proud assassin for her father's mafia. Sophie is sent on a mission in Russia to eliminate a newly formed threat. Petrov's son Roman, his only heir to the Russian mafia. When the two are made into unlikely allies, things get tense very quickly. 26 year old Roman Morozov has recently taken over his father's mafia. He has no interest in getting revenge on the Italian mafia but when an assassin tries to take him out he takes the opportunity to warn her of a threat they're both facing. What happens when opposing sides are forced to work together to save their families? This is the direct sequel to my book Black Lace. It can technically be read as a stand alone but the main character's backgrounds will make a lot more sense if you were to read the first book. TW: This book contains murder, sexual content, torture and gore. I will try my best to put warnings before any of the things stated above.

Astren City, and all surrounding area, have the highest crime rate in the northern part of the country. Dozens of crime families constantly trying to take the throne, as well as corruption lurking around every corner, do not aid in that fact at all. Salem Heart's father, Jack Heart, happens to be the Astren City Chief of Police, a title which holds a lot of weight and a rank that claims even more power. He's well respected, and amazing at his job. That said, greatness is expected of Salem as well. Of course that isn't a problem, Salem will always be loyal to the law. He was raised by it, and upholding it is his future career aspiration. He thinks he has his life figured out. The fact that his ex-boyfriend comes from a notorious crime family, and has been arrested several times by Jack's own department, doesn't matter. Salem's passed that, he's over Atlas Marino and he always will be. He will ignore that scratch in his record, and cover it up with his success. Salem is offered a job to help with an investigation that could benefit his future career astronomically. He thinks it's a win-win situation, he gets the recognition he desires, and the streets will be that much safer. It's all black and white to him, easy to understand. He likes the order, and he craves the accomplishment of defeating bad with good. It's all black and white. Until he gets caught in the grey.
