Louis Armandi leads a double life. By day, he’s a businessman. By night, he’s a professional mobster. He doesn’t have time for romance.

Even if he did, there’s one rule: whoever he dates must be able to resist his vampiric charm. Their relationship won’t work otherwise. When both of his jobs are in jeopardy and he hires a professional escort to help him out, he feels something different.

A fated bond.

Now, he must convince her they’re supposed to be together forever.

Meanwhile, Evelyn Rodriguez is in a personal and business rut. Her ex is stalking her. Her accounts are in the red. She’s got two weeks to pay her rent or face eviction.

She’s got no choice but to accept Tall, Dark, and Handsome’s proposal and pretend to be his classy girlfriend at his business party for a few hours.

The job seems simple enough.

But between his devilish charms and his sexy voice, she breaks her one important rule: never mix business with pleasure. If she’s not careful, she’ll become the next victim to his vampiric curse.

Their fated bond overcame Louis’s troublesome curse. Now, Evelyn’s family and her vampiric powers threaten to tear them apart.

Life has been difficult for Louis. Since his girlfriend turned into a vampire, things have been busy with work while he builds up his business to secure their future. After his investor for his cologne business dies from a vampire bite, Louis must investigate his death to see if it’s a rogue vampire on the loose or if Evelyn has gone out of control from her hunger.

If she’s gone out of control, then the vampiric court will find her and make him kill her.

Meanwhile, Evelyn hasn’t adjusted to being a vampire very well. Her faith in God has been destroyed. Her life has gotten complicated now that she’s Eisen’s bodyguard and protege. But once her vampire surfaces, she must use every ounce of self-control not to bite the people she loves including Louis.

But she has another threat: the vampiric court and the Sect sending someone to kill her. If she's not careful, the assassin could kill both her and Louis.

Evelyn won't allow herself to die a second time.

This is a standalone book in the Charm City Assassins series that has shifters, vampires, mages, fast-paced action scenes, some steamy scenes, and a second chance romance that could compare to Romeo and Juliet, except this story ends with a happy ever after.

While it is helpful to read Louis and Evelyn's story starting with Vulture's Kiss, you do not need to read those books to enjoy this standalone novel.

Hector Irving is a successful business owner on the surface, but underneath his façade, he runs South Charm City as a ruthless leader who commands respect. So far, he's done pretty well for himself in everything he does except one thing: finding love. He keeps finding the wrong girls at the wrong time.

When some girls in his pride help another crime boss take away his investments and set him up for both embezzlement and money laundering, he goes to the only person he can trust to handle his case: Porsha Tressenberg--the woman he let slip away while they dated in college. However, she has other ideas in store for him--and none of her plans involve him coming back into her life.

Porsha's dream is to live her life away from her father's life around the mob and seeing the constant reminders of her brother's untimely death by Evan Donahue, the current newly appointed crime lord of West Charm City. Despite her best efforts, her past comes back to haunt her when her ex-boyfriend is arrested and she has to help him get his federal charges dropped before he's locked up in prison.

Can Porsha forgive him long enough to help him in regard to both business and pleasure or will Hector choose his pride over his unrequited love and lose her forever?

Coming in September 2025.

Edith Eisen is the best at her job: controlling the Black Market and investing in the businesses of shifters, mages, and other supernatural creatures. However, there is one thing she longs for: someone to share her wealth and knowledge of the Underground without compromising her prestigious position.

She tries a new endeavor: investing in bitcoin and other money laundering activities to hide most of her assets. However, while she is somewhat successful at this, a new player in the Underground blackmails her and threatens to take her to the authorities about her investing in both the mob and supernatural business transactions. Worse yet, it’s someone in her neck of the woods: Arnold Trenarbour, claiming he knows about her empathic and fire magic powers.

Meanwhile, Arnold also is in the black market, controlling East Charm City with fear and his trigger-happy tendencies. He distributes unregistered and illegal firearms in his part of the city. When Eisen catches him opening businesses without going to her, she threatens to take him down and have the mob put a hit on him.

Suddenly, someone targets both Eisen and Arnold, claiming someone put a hit out on both of them. If they don’t work together to stop the supposed hitman, they might lose everything they worked so hard to achieve.

Can they stop the hitman together, or will they kill one another first?
