Everyone has their secrets. Some more deadly than others. Marc is a doting older brother by day, and an angel of death by night. After being recruited by an underground syndicate, Marc regularly seeks out and assassinates all of his assigned targets without leaving a trace.
Frequently accompanied on his missions by his two partners in crime, taking the lives of the unsuspecting has become somewhat of a habit. However, Marc's greatest fear is his discovery. Not by the general public, but by the one person he loves most--his younger brother. Can he keep his identity secret from his own blood? Or will the pressures of family ties dissolve his day time facade?

My breath hitched as Jayce's hand wrapped around my throat, his touch firm but not tight, just enough to send a pulse of heat through my veins. He leaned in close, his body a wall of heat, his dark eyes burning into mine with a fury I couldn't look away from. "You keep pushing me, Ford," he growled, his voice low and rough, vibrating through me. "One of us is going to snap." I forced myself to meet his gaze, smirking even as my pulse quickened, trying to ignore the way his hand made everything feel too close. "Maybe I'm not the one who should be careful." His thumb brushed my skin, sending a shiver down my spine, and I could feel his restraint slipping, his focus flickering to my lips. I held my breath, my body thrumming with anticipation. "Careful," he murmured, his voice low and deadly, sending a warning I could practically taste. "I don't stop once I start." I lifted my chin slightly, locking my eyes with his. "Then don't." _ _ _ Zoe Ford, the sharp-tongued daughter of LA's top police chief, has always lived under the weight of her family's legacy. Raised by her detective brother while her father hunted criminals, she's no stranger to chaos-but nothing could prepare her for Jayce Calaway.

Jayce rules with no mercy, but Zoe refuses to back down, setting the stage for a collision of fire and ice. Hate. Betrayal. Bloodshed. This is WANTED.

The Shadow Prospect {ONC}
For all obvious reasons to his story, Cato should be dead. By some miracle, he's not. Somehow surviving a brutal attack, he wakes up instead to the insistent beeping of hospital equipment, to be told he's the only suspect for the same murder case he was rescued from, found clutching the bloody weapon in one hand with absolutely no clue of how it got there and no evidence to point elsewhere. And the biggest problem? He has no memory of that night. The murder wiped clean, just as bare as the evidence of the case, making it impossible to know the truth. But as his journey to finding the truth continues he can't ignore the growing nagging in his gut that there's more to this. Something else was there that night. Someone. And, by God, he was going to find out who (or what) was in that alley with him- Even if it kills him. {ONC ROUND 1 AND 2 QUALIFIER!!}Complete
