This is Book one of the Gallery of Killers series. She cleans up the evidence. They create the crime. ​Elara Vance is a ghost. As a high-end biohazard cleanup technician, her job is to erase the worst moments of people's lives-scrubbing blood from marble and bleaching away the stains of violence until the world looks perfect again. She doesn't ask questions, and she never leaves a trace. ​But when she's summoned to a pristine estate by Alistair Thorne, she realizes she hasn't been hired to clean a past mistake. She's been recruited to join a masterpiece. ​Thorne is a billionaire CEO with the soul of a predator and a passion for "restructuring" more than just companies. He is the Architect, and he has a vision for the city-one written in shadow and blood. And he isn't alone. ​To survive the Architect's world, Elara must navigate four lethal obsessions: ​The Architect (Thorne): The brilliant, cold mastermind who sees Elara as the final piece of his structural design. ​The Butcher (Silas Vane): A stoic chef who handles a cleaver with terrifying grace and looks at Elara with a hunger that has nothing to do with food. ​The Siren (Jude Cross): The golden-boy influencer who uses his fame as a mask for his sadistic cravings. ​The Shadow (Nico Rossi): The tech-stalker who has been living in Elara's digital periphery, watching her every move long before they ever met. ​In a world where the monsters are beautiful and the crimes are art, Elara's skills are the perfect asset. They don't want to kill her-they want to keep her. But as the lines between cleaner and accomplice blur, Elara has to decide: will she scrub away their sins, or will she help them paint the town red? ​"Some people build empires. We build nightmares. And every nightmare needs a witness to keep it clean."

Title: THE ENIGMA'S DEBT Blurb: He paid the Devil for a night of pleasure. Now the Devil has come to collect. Julian Romanov is the "Ice Prince" of Russia. Arrogant. Untouchable. And secretly dying. To the world, he is a ruthless Alpha heir. In reality, he is an abused Omega hiding his nature with illegal suppressants that are slowly poisoning his blood. One night of freedom in Italy led to the biggest mistake of his life. He slept with a stranger, left a stack of cash on the nightstand to insult him, and ran away before dawn. He thought he would never see the man again. He was wrong. The stranger was Luciano Rossi-the most feared Enigma in Europe. A man who doesn't forgive insults. And he has just arrived in Moscow to sign a deal with Julian's family. Luciano doesn't want ports. He doesn't want weapons. He pulls a crumpled, blood-stained bill out of his pocket and smiles. "You treated me like a whore, Julian. You thought you could pay for my time?" Luciano leans in, his Enigma scentm suffocating the room. "Keep your money. I'm going to take something else. I'm going to own you until you beg me to stop."
