"From the bestselling author of He Sees You When You're Sleeping comes a dark romance about a murder-sober retired serial killer and his murder-curious protégé. Perfect for fans of Brynne Weaver, this twisted romance inspired by the Bluebeard folktale is filled with dark humor, sizzling chemistry, and spice.
Murder is their love language…
Five years ago, Saylor Mitchell's father was brutally murdered in front of her, shattering her world. Now his killers have tracked her down to finish the job. She is unexpectedly saved by her father's closest friend, the enigmatic Blue. Saylor's savior-and captor- is a reformed, murder-sober assassin struggling to escape the clutches of his own violent history.
Blue's gothic mansion, perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking a stormy sea in the town of Grimlock, is a labyrinth of secrets. And so is Grimlock, a small town whose residents all seem to have a penchant for murder that they've managed-mostly- to overcome.
Saylor soon realizes that Blue holds the key to avenging her father's murder at the hands of the Crow, a gang of amoral contract killers. Only problem? Saylor has never killed before. Good thing those who can't kill…teach.
Blue finds Saylor an apt pupil and the attraction between them morphs into a dangerous obsession. Can their love conquer Blue's final, darkest secret?

Sloane throws herself into her work, yet soon the attraction between her and Cole becomes undeniable. As the city sparkles with Christmas splendor from her penthouse view, Sloane wonders if she has stepped into a fairy tale-until Cole's powerful enemies close in.

"He's a fallen priest with dark secrets, and I'm the key to his revenge.
I never thought a simple walk in New York City would lead me into the shadows of a sinister game.
One moment, I'm fighting off attackers in a dark alley, and the next, I'm saved by a mysterious stranger. He drags me into a darkened building, his grip both protective and possessive. I should feel safe, but I can't shake the feeling that there's something dangerous lurking beneath his surface.
Imagine my shock when I discover my rescuer is none other than Thomas Manwarring, the notorious prodigal son of the Manwarring dynasty, returned from Rome under a shroud of scandal.
His every move is calculated, every glance a mix of fury and fascination. I don't understand why he saved me or why he seems so fixated on me, but I know one thing for sure: his intentions are far from pure.
He watches me, studying every move, every breath. I feel like he's waiting for something—for me to fall into his trap—for me to trust him just enough.
But I'm not as naive as he thinks. I'll play along, but I'll also fight back. Navigating his maze of shadows and deception, I won't be another pawn in his game.
Beneath the glittering surface of high society, lies a world of forbidden lust and dangerous secrets. Journey into a realm of deception and desire in this thrilling series by USA Today bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley."
"The moment I slapped Lucian Manwarring, I knew I had just declared war.
He may be the billionaire patriarch of the powerful Manwarring family with a reputation for getting everything he wants, but I'm not going to be his latest conquest.
He stole my entire inheritance and expects me to just fall in line, to be the obedient bride he can mold into his perfect trophy wife. But he has no idea who he's dealing with.
I'm not some meek, submissive girl ready to be controlled by an older man, even if he is commanding and handsome. I'm stubborn, outspoken, and ready to fight for my freedom. I won't be forced down the aisle, no matter how much power he wields or how determined he is to make me his possession.
Lucian isn't used to defiance. He's used to getting his way, and he seems amused by my resistance—at first. But I see the darkness in his eyes, the ruthless determination that tells me he's not going to stop until he breaks me.
But I won't let him. I'll fight him every step of the way, even if it means risking everything to defy him.
Enter the seductive and treacherous world of New York's high society, where scandalous secrets and dangerous desires are guarded closely, in this dark romance by USA Today bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley."
"My bodyguard is supposed to keep me safe, not control me.
As the youngest daughter in a wealthy, powerful family, everyone assumes I'm just an innocent, sheltered heiress.
Especially Reid Taylor, my overbearing bodyguard, who's made it his mission to keep me in line and under his watchful eye.
He's a former Army sergeant, now head of security for my family, and he's determined to keep me in check, enforcing his strict rules with an iron will and expecting nothing less than total obedience.
But I'm not some meek little girl.
I push his limits at every opportunity—defying his rules, slipping out of his reach, and challenging him with a sharp tongue that I know gets under his skin.
Instead of pushing him away, it only seems to draw him closer.
Reid might be my protector, but I see the desire he struggles to contain.
Every act of rebellion only intensifies the tension between us.
I know he wants to dominate me, to make me surrender completely to his will.
But we both know that crossing that line would be dangerous.
Yet, when my father tries to force me into an arranged marriage, everything changes.
Reid's protectiveness turns into a fierce possessiveness.
His control snaps, and I see just how far he's willing to go to keep me for himself.
Explore the forbidden desires and dark secrets hidden among New York's elite in this captivating series by USA Today bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley."
"She was mine for the taking. So I did.
When I walked in on my beautiful new assistant changing outfits in my executive office's personal bathroom, I did what any ruthless billionaire in my place would have done. I kissed her.
Punishingly.
Then, with her wrist held firmly to keep her from slapping me again, I told her about the spanking she'd earned, all while I bared her and tasted what I'd already decided was mine.
But it wasn't until I bent her over my desk and made her scream my name with every brutal climax that she began to truly understand what it means to belong to a bastard like me.
Dive deep into a world of forbidden romances and hidden truths in this gripping series by the dynamic duo of USA Today bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley."
"Her family took something from me, so I took something from them. Her.
Only a monster would kidnap a woman from her brother's wedding, but that's what I've become. Now this innocent girl is my captive. Mine to use and punish in the most shameful of ways.
She can fight my control all she wants, but she's my possession, and she'll yield to even my most depraved demands soon enough.
No matter how desperately she resists her body's surrender, she's already mine.
Yet as my twisted game of revenge unfolds, I can't help wondering if I'm the pawn who's been captured...
By my queen.
New York's elite play a dangerous game of shadows, hiding scandalous truths and illicit desires behind their opulent masks. Step into this intoxicating world of dark romance, masterfully crafted by USA Today bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley."
"His family dared to challenge mine, so I am going to ruin them... starting with stealing his bride.
Only a cold-hearted villain would destroy an innocent bride's special day over a business deal gone bad...
Which is why I choose this precise moment to disrupt New York High Society's most anticipated wedding of the season.
As I am Luc Manwarring II, billionaire heir to one of the most powerful families in the country, no one is brave enough to stop me.
My revenge plan is deceptively simple: humiliate the groom, then blackmail the bride's family into coercing the bride into marrying me instead.
My ruthless calculations do not anticipate my reluctant bride having so much fight and fire in her.
At every opportunity, she resists my dominance and control, even going so far as trying to escape my dark plans for her.
She is only supposed to be a means to an end, an unwilling player in my game of revenge.
But the more she challenges me, the more I begin to wonder... who is playing who?
Tearing off the gilded veneer of elite privilege exposes the sordid scandals, dark secrets, and taboo desires of New York's jaded high society in this dark romance series from best friends and USA Today bestselling authors Zoe Blake and Alta Hensley."

She’s smart, beautiful, and just my type.
She’s also barely legal. The very definition of forbidden fruit. And I don’t just want a bite; I want to devour her.
Now she is standing before me, her gorgeous eyes filled with tears. She’s in trouble. She has a stalker, a dangerous one, and he’s getting closer. She needs my help.
