3 years after the events of NOCTURN, Julia Rose is now Julia Flynn - devoted wife to medical professor Ben Flynn, and a mother. Julia rebuilds from the rubble of her post-Declan life in London, England, though her move across the pond appears to have had an ulterior motive ...
Declan Keiser has left the past behind and fully embraced his role within the Diogenes Club, forfeiting all conscience and reason to somehow survive the atrocities he once fought so hard to break free from.
But fate has more in store for Julia and Declan. Their story did not end in the snow-capped mountains of Ruby Hill, but has taken to the rainy streets of London, with more at stake than ever before.

Heartbreak Express
🏆 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐲𝐬 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭 | She ran from her wedding the day she found out the groom was expecting a baby with someone else. Now, with a broken heart and no suitcase, she's starting over in London... Two men, one new life and a second chance she never saw coming. Isabella Solène Hart was supposed to be a bride. Instead, she became a woman who walked away from betrayal, from shame, from the version of love that left her undone. London offers her nothing but silence and strangers and that's exactly what she needs until it starts to offer more. A job at a luxury PR firm, a flat that slowly becomes a home, a local café with warm coffee and warmer smiles, a neighbour with a cat named Rufus and a shopkeeper named Robert, gruff, loyal, quietly becoming the father figure she never had. But nothing shakes her more than the two men who begin to orbit her new life. Skylar, the charming café owner with kind eyes, he makes her laugh again, makes her feel again, but when it matters most... he stays silent. And Sebastian, the enigmatic CEO with ice-blue eyes and power in every breath. He shouldn't be looking at her the way he does, he shouldn't know who she is, but he does and what begins as a spark quickly threatens to set fire to the walls she's still rebuilding. Now Bella must navigate more than just a second chance, she must decide what kind of love she's ready for and whether she can open her heart again without losing herself in the process. It's a story of loss, of starting over, and the two men who force her to face what love really means. Of heartbreak turned healing, of strangers turned family. It's not just about falling in love, it's about who you become when your world shatters... and you choose to rise anyway.Complete

Well, I don't know how best he was but he was an asshole to me. I didn't like him a bit and I was happy when he was dismissed. I am twenty and I am a very easy-going girl, not too picky, not too demanding but still very selective on people I let in my life. Boyfriends? Yeah, I had two. First was Ben, my high school sweetheart, or at least I thought he was because I found him smooching the Queen at my prom saying he had been always in love with her. Well, trust me, it took all my power, my charm, and sweetness to convince my father to stay away and not make him kiss the ground as he promised, but I didn't manage the same thing with Mike. I didn't see Ben for the next two weeks and when he finally came back to school you could swear he never knew me. And now it is Jason, my college sweetheart. He is nice, cute, ...

OF STORM KISSED LIES
Description: Detective Alex Morgan is trained to read between the lines-but what happens when her life becomes one long, tangled lie? At work, she's hunting a sadistic killer whose victims are piling up fast-each body left in the rain, carved with symbols no one can decode. At home, chaos reigns: her 13-year-old daughter is pregnant, her teen son is spiraling into addiction, and her ex-husband is nothing more than a voicemail that never gets returned. She's holding a badge in one hand and her sanity in the other-barely. Then comes the man in the storm-dark-eyed, enigmatic, impossibly seductive. The kind of man who should come with a warning label... or a body count..There's an immediate pull, a desire so fierce it breaks her rules. He disappears before she can ask his name. And somehow, Alex keeps letting him back in. Into her house. Into her bed. Into the case? As the bodies stack higher and the storm outside grows more violent, so does the one inside her. She doesn't know who to trust-including herself. Why does the killer feel so close? Why do the clues keep pointing to the man she can't stop touching? And what happens when the line between hunter and prey disappears completely? Alex keeps digging. And sleeping with the suspect. She tells herself it's control, strategy. But how many more people have to die before she stops confusing pleasure for protection? Can she uncover the truth before her family collapses entirely? Or will her need-for escape, for touch, for him-drag her into a grave she didn't see coming? How many lies can she tell before one of them becomes her own obituary? Some storms kiss. Others kill. And some... do both.
