One detective.
One hit man.
One final score to settle.
When a man is found brutally stabbed in his own home, Detective Madison Knight never expects to recognize the name. The victim is Jimmy Bates-the man who murdered her grandfather.
Digging into Jimmy's past, Madison uncovers deep ties to the Russian Mafia. At first, the killing looks like retaliation. Then a second body appears, and a darker pattern begins to emerge.
This isn't revenge.
It's a reckoning.
The warning comes next-a letter meant for Madison alone. Then her sister, Chelsea, disappears. The message is unmistakable.
The hit man who nearly killed Madison months ago is back. This time, he isn't hiding. He's forcing a confrontation Madison can't avoid.
Because this case isn't just personal.
It's a countdown.
And when the score is finally settled, only one of them will walk away alive.
A relentless, high-risk crime thriller and police procedural.
Book eight in the Detective Madison Knight series.

In a world where hearts were easily broken, he chose to have none. A powerful businessman, cold and untouchable, lived a life built on silence and control. He never spoke with warmth, never cared enough to stay, and never allowed anyone close enough to hurt him. Emotions were nothing but distractions-and he had buried his long ago. Until one night... everything changed. He found her-alone, trembling, and fragile like a piece of glass ready to shatter. Her eyes held fear, her silence carried pain, and her small hands clutched onto nothing... as if she had already lost everything. For the first time, he didn't walk away. He didn't know why he stopped. He didn't know why her tears affected him. But something in her broken existence reached the part of him he thought was long dead. She was scared of everything... even of him. Yet slowly, unknowingly, she became the reason his empty world began to feel again. He, who never believed in love, found himself learning care... patience... protection. Not as a lover- But as a brother she never had. And she, who feared the world, found safety in the arms of the man everyone else feared. But when the shadows of her past return, threatening to take her away from the only place she feels safe... Will he be able to protect her? Or will the fragile bond they built break before it can truly become a family. A story of a shattered girl and a frozen man-two souls finding warmth in a bond stronger than blood. ✨ ---

"Aakriti Malhotra: The Girl They Called a Mistake"
Aakriti Malhotra... The youngest. The loudest. The one who filled every corner of her home with laughter. A soft-hearted, beautiful girl who never learned how to stay quiet. Carefree like the wind, bold like fire, and loved beyond words by her family. A family that felt complete- Two parents who adored her. Four protective elder brothers who treated her like their whole world. An elder sister who was her best friend, her secret keeper, her shield. She was their princess. Or so she believed... Until everything changed. The day her uncle and aunt left for London, they didn't just take their two sons with them. They left behind two daughters-silent, forgotten, and slowly fading into the background of a family that once felt whole. And then came her 19th birthday. A night meant for laughter. Lights. Celebration. Love. But instead... it became the night everything shattered. One accident. One moment. One truth too heavy to survive. And when Aakriti woke up to her world breaking apart... She didn't see the same eyes anymore. The same family who once worshipped her presence... now looked at her like she was a stranger. Like she was a mistake. Like she was a criminal who had destroyed everything they loved. Her name was still Aakriti Malhotra. But in their eyes... she was something else entirely. A girl once held like glass... now left to break in pieces no one tried to fix. Because sometimes, love doesn't disappear. It turns into silence. Into blame. Into distance so deep... it feels like death. And in that silence, one question remains- What really happened that night... that turned their princess into their punishment?
The Gospel of a Mafia Princess
Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?
