Lena Quinn doesn't speak. Doesn't fight. Doesn't belong.
She's the ghost no one notices in a town ruled by blood-soaked gangs and shattered promises. Her silence kept her safe-until one night, she screamed.
Now everyone's watching.
Gabriel Lin, second-in-command of the Crimson Vipers, is cold, ruthless, and deadly.
He doesn't protect anyone.
But from the moment he sees her, obsession takes hold-brutal and unrelenting.
Ezra Cruz, leader of the Crimson Vipers, is calculating, merciless-and haunted by memories he can't forget.
There's something about Lena that stirs a painful recognition, a ghost from his past he thought was lost forever.
Lucien Ward, king of the Ashen Hounds, sees a weapon where others see a girl.
He'll stop at nothing to claim her, using her to shatter the fragile peace between gangs-and reshape the town in his image.
Torn between the protector who fights for her,
The leader who carries a secret pain,
And the enemy who wants to own her.
Lena was born to ignite a war that will burn them all.

Velvet & Vengeance
Lena Morrow thought the worst thing about working nights in a city that never sleeps was the loneliness. That is, until she realizes someone's been watching her-someone patient, quiet, and deadly. When a stranger saves her from a contract hit and drags her into a web of secrets, she learns her missing brother was never just a ghost from her past-he was part of something bigger. Something ruthless. Cassian Vale doesn't do attachments. As the underworld's most efficient assassin, his rules are simple: no names, no mercy, no survivors. But Lena Morrow breaks every one of them. Protecting her means betraying the empire that built him, and once he's tasted her defiance, he can't let her go-no matter how much blood it costs. As bullets fly and alliances crumble, their story becomes one of survival, obsession, and a love sharp enough to cut. In a city of smoke and sin, they'll have to decide whether to save each other... or destroy everything in the name of it.Complete

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision.
