Rook and Ronin Omnibus: The Complete Trilogy (Rook and Ronin #1-3)
Narrated By: Erin Mallon, Jason Clarke, Teddy Hamilton

Rook and Ronin Omnibus contains the books Tragic, Manic, and Panic and features a runaway girl who falls into a million-dollar dream of cherry trees and rooftop swings. A bad boy with a sketchy history of breaking pretty girls. And a job called Tragic that might ruin everything.

Tragic

She’s on the run from a horrible past.

He’s got an offer of a lifetime.

Ronin

Rook Walsh appeared out of nowhere like a dark angel sent to steal my soul. And I could just tell that she was broken, and beaten, and scared.

So I made her an offer of a lifetime. She needed a job and I needed a certain “type” of girl for a modeling contract worth millions of dollars called Tragic.

I was warned to keep my hands to myself.

I was warned not to get involved.

I was warned not to ruin her.

(The way I ruined the last one.)

But I don’t take orders – I give them.

Rook

Ronin Flynn appeared out of nowhere like a bright light in my heavy darkness. And when he offered me a job, and money, and a fantasy rooftop apartment, I wanted to believe that he was good, and fair, and honest.

But I’d been tricked by a pretty face before.

I’d fallen for the knight once – and lost everything.

This was my chance to start over.

This was my chance to escape and be free.

And this was my chance to do it all by myself.

I don’t need a knight.

I don’t want to be saved.

But sometimes you find yourself trapped inside the fairy tale, and no matter how hard you try, nothing you do can stop the train wreck coming.

Ford (Rook and Ronin #4)
Narrated By: Troy Duran

SLACK

Ford Aston is not too picky about what he wants out of Christmas. He’s not into this holiday – like at all. He doesn’t do presents or family dinners or parties or church.

He does pets. And he’s got one lined up for Christmas Eve. In fact it’s the highlight of his day.

And if he can get through drop-in visits, nosy 12-year-olds, an inappropriate conversation with his best friend’s girlfriend, dinner with a family that’s not his, and a party at his mother’s house – well, he might just get home in time to enjoy himself with a stranger and make it all okay.

TAUT

Ford Aston is known for many things. Being an emotionless, messed up bastard, a freakishly smart social outcast, and a cold, domineering master who keeps “pets” instead of girlfriends.

And after Rook broke his heart, he plans to keep it that way.

Ashleigh is known for nothing, and that’s exactly what she’s got going for her. She’s broke and stranded in the mountains with a three-month-old baby, and Ford Aston is screwing with her head.

Big. Time.

And she plans to mess with his right back.

It’s a coy game at first, filled with flirting and innuendo – but Ford soon realizes something is not quite right with Ashleigh.

In fact something is seriously, seriously wrong, and the closer they get to their final destination, the closer Ford gets to the truth.

One night of devastation, self-loathing, and emptiness turns into the best thing that ever happened to Ford Aston.

But one day of in-your-face reality threatens Ashleigh’s whole existence.

Spencer (Rook and Ronin #5)
Narrated By: Troy Duran, Jennifer Reilly

Spencer Shrike is a man with a plan. Get in. Get out. Move on. He loves Ron the Bomb, and her safety is the only thing on his mind.

But life is a tricky bastard. And conning criminals for the better part of 10 years brings its own set of problems. Sure, Rook lied her way out of a sticky situation, covering for Ronin, Ford, and Spencer’s crimes in the process.

But not everyone is buying her story and Spencer is desperate to figure out who’s in town setting them up for a fall.

Veronica the Bombshell Vaughn has put up with Spencer Shrike’s shit for years and where has it gotten her? A big fat nowhere. No ring, no house, no kids, and no promises.

In fact, Spencer is worse than ever – distant and moody. She’s done sitting at home, pining over a man she can’t have. She’s tired of being ignored and she’s coming out swinging.

Now there’s another man in town with his eye on her. He’s got secrets too, and he’s more than willing to share. She’s ready to jump ship.

Because the last thing on Spencer’s mind is a relationship, and Ron the Bomb has had enough.

The entire Rook and Ronin series comes full circle.

Every con, every lie, and every skeleton in the closet is back for one final shot at vengeance, and the only way to set it right…is with guns.

The Company: James Fenici (Rook & Ronin #6)
Narrated By: Ava Erickson, Tad Branson

Some people are above the law. Those people are called Company.

Twenty-eight-year-old James Fenici has been an assassin since he was 16. He’s amassed debts and favors from countless Company brothers and participated in hundreds of Company jobs.

But there are not enough favors in the world to clear his debt and make him worthy of the only girl he’s ever wanted.

Eighteen-year-old Harper Tate is the girl who doesn’t exist. Born and raised on a mega-yacht in a tropical paradise, she was destined to be a secret until now.

Now she must choose between two Company men: The one she loves or the one chosen to give her the world.

Thirteen-year-old Sasha Cherlin is the girl who knows everything and understands nothing at all. Her future is filled with vengeance and death, but her dreams are filled with hope and a promise of love.

A high-stakes global game played with sex, secrets, and a savage thirst for power by the New York Times best-selling author JA Huss.

Meet Me in the Dark: Merc (Rook & Ronin #7)
Narrated By: Troy Duran, Anna Riordan

He’s empty, inhuman, dishonest, and cruel. She’s never wanted anyone more. Sydney has lived in fear for eight years after freelance assassin, Merc, failed to rescue her from a cult-like militia group.

Left in the hands of a sadistic man, she did whatever it took to survive. But Merc’s last words gave her hope. Hope he’d be back to finish the job.

After Merc is betrayed by her father, Sydney becomes his target. He wields sex, drugs, lies, and love like weapons. Merc knows just what to do with a fearful girl like Sydney.

He’s in control. He’s always in control. But Sydney Channing is not what she appears.

And Merc’s only redeeming act – the very one that made Sydney’s life a living hell – might just be his worst mistake yet.

Warning: Meet Me in the Dark is a standalone non-traditional dark captive romantic suspense. It is not intended for sensitive listeners.

Wasted Lust: Sasha (Rook & Ronin #8)
Narrated By: Ava Erickson, Tad Branson

A girl with regrets

Sasha Cherlin died the night she let Nick Tate walk out on her for a life of crime. Her very essence was destroyed when they broke their promise to one another.

A man with remorse

Nick Tate made his choice with her future in mind. He loved Sasha enough to know that leaving her behind was the only way to keep her safe.

A path to revenge

Special Agent Jax Barlow understands the bond of love and he plans to use it to get justice. Nick and Sasha will do anything to rewrite their past. He’s counting on that to bring them down.

Author note: Wasted Lust is a standalone book, but, you have to be willing to go along for the ride. The Sasha character has a long history in all my other books (she was 12 in those books, now she’s grown up). And it’s a parallel book to 321, so new story, new characters, but same timeline and the plots converge in the middle. No spoilers for 321 in Wasted Lust.

**Includes a special bonus note read by the author.

Five is 15 and getting ready to go off to college. He’s put it off as long as he could in order to stay close to Princess Shrike, but his stay of execution is over and in three weeks he’s off to Oxford.
