passion, action, and powerful heroines
BOOK 1 of THE SHADOWS SYNDICATE
First, he adorned me in diamonds. Then, he killed my father.
Now, I’ll make him pay.
I’ve waited my whole life for Maximiliano Volpe to propose. But on my twenty-first birthday, his sparkling gift offers no such promise — probably because he’s been too busy preparing the ultimate betrayal. What’s a mafia princess to do?
Take revenge, of course.
It helps to have a brooding powerhouse of a bodyguard by your side — but even my devoted Caspian needs reinforcements. So, I turn my pursuit to the four Shadows: reclusive killers who belong to the highest bidder.
And there’s the catch. My inheritance is currently lining Max’s pockets.
If I want the Shadows on my side, I’m going to need to convince them I’m worth their while. But the mere sight of them has my body rebelling against every sensible thought in my head. And I find myself wanting them all.
Payback is going to be a thrill.
Blood in the Water is a multi-first person POV mafia romance, with heart-pumping action and a heroine who doesn’t have to choose.
BOOK 2 of THE SHADOWS SYNDICATE
He brought us together. Can we take him apart?
Max Volpe is a two-faced scumbag. After stealing my father’s legacy, he’s made a new and dangerous alliance — and this one makes him damn near invincible.
Normally, I wouldn’t mind a deadly showdown between enemies, but it’s not just my life on the line anymore. Failure means my men get killed. If they don’t kill each other first...
This isn’t how it was supposed to go. We’re supposed to be a well-oiled machine, engineered to take Max down. Turns out multiplying my, er, options means five times the tension, competitiveness, and jealous sass.
But piece by piece, our strategy starts to fall into place — and as I embrace my ruthless urges, a new Leona emerges. One who’s earned her place among the Shadows and their delicious darkness.
Until I discover the secret they’ve all been keeping from me.
