Vivienne Ho has run Praya Capital for five years: no press, two photographs on the fund's own site, both of the other founder. Vivienne Ho is a face Circe fixes by hand before seven each morning, and a life that became real to the woman wearing it. Circe has spent six years being nobody in particular. By the end of the season a house in Geneva has published half a billion dollars for her body. Damien Tang loses a container terminal to her on a Thursday and wants her by the weekend. His family opens a file, and he lets it run. The man who loves her has money, no training, and no idea what he is buying. Circe can wear any face in the world. What her craft cannot survive is being looked at properly, at close range, by somebody who is not going to stop. He is not going to stop. A romantic conspiracy thriller for readers of Red Sparrow, First Lie Wins and The Night Manager. Romance and conspiracy carry equal weight, and both are explicit on the page.

His Little Witness

He was sent to make me disappear. He wasn't supposed to want me for himself. I recorded a murder. One shake video, one VIP room I should never have served, one man who looked straight into my phone and smiled, and now the most powerful men in the city want me erased before sunrise. Then he found me first. Silas doesn't ask. He doesn't comfort. He shows up like a blade in a tailored shirt and tells me I have ten seconds to choose: walk away and die, or come with him and lose every piece of the life I used to have. Cold-blooded, ruthlessly efficient, and absolutely not allowed to touch me, he's the man Blackwater sends when there's nothing left to save. But he touches me anyway.. Every safehouse gets burned. Every alias gets cracked. Someone inside his own organization is feeding me to the wolves, and Silas just promised he'd torch Blackwater to the ground before he let them take me. God help me, because I want to watch him do it. A dark, possessive, slow-burn romantic suspense for readers who like their heroes lethal, their heroines sharp-tongued, and their tension thick enough to cut. Forced proximity. One bed (eventually). A man who was supposed to be untouchable until he met her. HIS LITTLE WITNESS is Book 1 in the Blackwater series. Reader note:Steamy, explicit, and intense. Contains on-page violence, themes of stalking and surveillance, and a hero whose protective instincts run very, very dark. [Read More]
