The continuation of Risking The Rogues! (must read first!) Gage, the famous pirate captain of the Grey Ghost is still desperate for the weapon that will at last bring him vengeance against the wielder of many names - Ryker Vidaris, The Mage, the man who killed his wife. The very weapon the Scarlet Queen tempted him with and denied him; crossing him just as he crossed the one woman who he still needs, in more ways than his heart can admit...

Clara is drowning under the weight of many new truths about her past while resisting the manipulations of Ryker, who insists she is destined to do his dirty work and kill the bloody monarch.  With her once budding passion for a criminal flowered into a burning hatred, Clara never wants to see Gage again. But the Scarlet Queen has something she desperately wants as well - the son she thought she'd lost. Can Clara and Gage come together one last time to do what must be done in these Tempestuous Times?

"I'm not sure what I want, but when I do, I'll move mountains to get it. My desires aren't tethered to anyone else; they're solely about me. Sometimes, even the most delicate things can seem dangerous but these things are too fragile to be counted. I can choose him, but this fragile choice could ruin me or my cause, and I can't afford that, even if it means the end of my life. But the sight of him takes my breath away. I've met countless men in my nineteen years, but why is he different? Why is he the one whose gaze makes my heart, Calista's heart of iron, beat?

Grim Echoes by ryanahunter
94 parts Complete Mature
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.
