Sinners & Spies

by A. K. Glandt

It’s not everyday you walk in on a murder.

Lyra saw the corpse at Hannibal’s feet and was sure she’d be next. Instead, the mafia boss put her to work in Citrus, his crime scene cleanup crew. Then the FBI discovered her…and threatened her with prison if she didn’t help take Hannibal down.

But the more evidence she gathers against him, the more the twisted, dangerously hot mob boss looks at her like he wants to devour her whole. And the closer she gets to Hannibal, the more she wants to be devoured.

Murder Notes (Lilah Love Book 1)

by Lisa Renee Jones

As an FBI profiler, it's Lilah Love's job to think like a killer. And she is very good at her job. When a series of murders surface—the victims all stripped naked and shot in the head—Lilah's instincts tell her it's the work of an assassin, not a serial killer. But when the case takes her back to her hometown in the Hamptons and a mysterious but unmistakable connection to her own life, all her assumptions are shaken to the core. Thrust into a troubled past she's tried to shut the door on, Lilah's back in the town where her father is mayor, her brother is police chief, and she has an intimate history with the local crime lord's son, Kane Mendez. The two share a devastating secret, and only Kane understands Lilah's own darkest impulses. As more corpses surface, so does a series of anonymous notes to Lilah, threatening to expose her. Is the killer someone in her own circle? And is she the next target?
