Black Widow's Legacy

Genre: Erotic Crime Thriller | Mature (21+)

Twelve years ago, Isla Martina Veretti was a woman in love-a powerful Italian-British business magnate who believed in passion, devotion, and forever. But when the man she gave her body and soul to discarded her like a used plaything, something inside her shattered. Betrayal turned her heart to ice. Lust became a weapon. And sex became the prelude to death.

Now, Isla is one of Europe's most powerful hoteliers, a woman of elegance and control. But beneath her flawless facade lies something far darker-a serial killer who preys on the men she hires for pleasure, only to steal their final breath in the throes of ecstasy. Her signature? Asphyxiation, sometimes followed by the sharp kiss of a blade. Each victim is a reminder of her past, a tribute to the man who made her into this.

Detective John Innes thought his last case nearly destroyed him. Seven months after putting one sadistic killer to rest, he's thrust into a new nightmare. When high-profile male escorts start vanishing across Europe-each disappearance tied to Isla's chain of luxury hotels-John and his elite SKICS team are called in. Alongside his brilliant wife, forensic pathologist Liz Simpson-Innes, and his trusted second-in-command, DI Rory Houston, John must unravel a web of seduction, power, and murder.

But Isla is no ordinary killer. She's beautiful. Untouchable. A master of control. And when John gets too close, he may find himself ensnared in a game where the line between hunter and prey blurs.

In this erotic crime thriller, where sex is as lethal as the blade, will John unmask the Black Widow before he becomes her next obsession?
