"They told me my parents' death was an accident. I know it was murder. Now I'm coming for the man who did it-even if he makes my heartbeat race."
Eldrath's glittering skyline hides a war.
Maliah Anderson's parents didn't die in an accident. They were murdered. And when the police refuse to listen, she'll tear apart the city's underworld to prove it-starting with Kian Sullivan, the ruthless mafia prince whose name is scrawled across every clue.
Alastor Mitchell offers an alliance. Charming, wounded, and hungry for vengeance against Kian, he's the perfect weapon. But his touch ignites a fire that terrifies her almost as much as Kian's midnight eyes and razor-sharp smile.
As Maliah infiltrates Kian's empire, the lines blur between:
✔ Justice and obsession
✔ Truth and manipulation
✔ The killer and the man who makes her pulse race
The deeper she falls, the darker the truth becomes.

Hired for secrets
Journalist Sofie has to seduce a handsome escort for an exclusive tell-all article without getting lost in temptations that could become deadly. "Sometimes you need to find the secrets within to unveil the ones around you." Sofie Black is an investigative journalist whose name is on hit-lists from crime lords, drug cartels, and corrupt organizations. She only goes after the most provocative and dangerous stories, like exposing the illegal tactics of a future Prime Minister. Fear isn't part of her vocabulary, and neither are other emotions. Until she meets Philip, the charming but aloof escort to the rich and powerful. He proves he's more than a handsome face or unwitting informant when he encrypts his seedy secrets in ruthless riddles. In fact, he is the architect of Club Elandra, flipping gender stereotypes and making him the puppet master to an influential female elite. Sofie breaks free from Philip's world of pretense, temptation and denial when a murder rattles his golden cage. As the prime suspect, Philip realizes this isn't a game anymore and that the only person able to help him now is Sofie. Will Sofie write her story and risk Philip's life, or will she protect him and bury the crimes she'd vowed to expose?Complete

Kade was nothing more than a shadow, lurking just behind the veil of ordinary life. Kade had his own rules, his own empire. He didn't care about the outside world of kindness and naivety. All that mattered was power, control, and keeping his enemies in line. A cold-hearted king, untouchable, invincible.

Ember Hollow was a world divided. Kade's shadows ruled the night, while Elara's kindness bloomed in the daylight. Two worlds, completely separate, completely unaware of the other's existence...Complete
