Nicola Payne has been a homicide detective for years, finding bodies, finding killers, looking for her own answers to decade-long questions.

The trail has led her to a city called Grimsborough, which is nothing like her previous placement. Payne enjoys a challenge, however, and soon her new friends will learn that. What they'll also learn is that Payne has many secrets, some more dangerous to know about than others.

And what will Nicola Payne learn? How to act like a normal human being, even at work? How to protect those near to her? How to trust people with her deepest darkest secrets? Only time will tell, as she searches for the evidence that will lead to the truth. Even if she may hate it.

Pretty Simple owns Criminal Case, the characters, and the cases.

Blurb: The quaint and secluded little town of Worlein is a quiet and peaceful one. But what happens when that horribly changes overnight? Aurdale is a prestigious institution, responsible for creating many world leaders. Tucked away into the heart of Worlein, it is the pride of the little town. But all of that changed with the arrival of Ivana Rodriguez. The first body dropped on the night she arrived at Aurdale. But unfortunately for her, it doesn't stop there. The horror continues with many more students losing their lives in the college where nothing, apparently, ever goes wrong. Her luck takes a hike down when the cops start suspecting her for the murders. Now, under heavy scrutiny from not just the police but her fellow classmates too, Ivana must race against time to find out who has been killing the students and why. Especially since every time she gets drawn into one of the murders, it astonishingly involves those four: The Reapers. Will Ivana be able to find the mystery behind the murders and uncover the identity of the fabled masked man? Or will she fail to do so before the police inevitably find out her true purpose behind coming to Aurdale? Whatever the cost, Ivana knows she must find the murderer against all odds, before her past catches up to her or worse, before she falls into the trap of the devilishly ruthless and irresistibly attractive overlord, from hell. Book 1 of Legacy of Carmanos [Arcaneverse] TW : uses of profanity, contains scenes of mild to extreme violence, death, sexual assault, mention of scenes of sexual nature, and more scenes of graphic nature. This book is a mildly dark Romance with a few scenes delving into more darker plot points. If you do not believe yourself capable of reading these without getting affected emotionally, physically or mentally, I suggest you to not continue. If that is not your case, then happy reading.
