The thankless job of personal assistant to the top defensive end in the National Football Organization was always supposed to be temporary.

Book excerpt: The breathtaking finale to the USA Today bestselling Cartel trilogy. People aren't born monsters. They're made that way. They're created, fuelled by one singular moment in time when their universe shatters. I'd been with Dornan Ross for the better part of a decade. Slept in his bed, sewn up his wounds, tasted his blood, seen inside his soul. But even I wasn't prepared for what he did. I should have known it would always come down to this, from the very moment I laid eyes on him in that motel. I should have known his salvation was too good to be true. Because it's all gone now, the impossible love I had for him bleeding away in the darkness that came afterward. Now there's only hate. Now I just want to escape. Even if it means I have to kill him to be free. Before the Gypsy Brothers series there was the Cartel -- from USA Today bestselling author Lili St Germain.

A stridently independent woman in sixteenth-century London, Clio Thornton’s interest in solving mysteries has put her at odds with her wealthy family. But given her coterie of unorthodox friends—and her pet monkey, Toast—that is nothing new. So, when she stumbles upon a grisly murder, she’s determined to investigate, even when all of her discoveries point to an impossible killer: the Vampire of London, vanquished three years ago by Viscount Miles Loredan—her cousin’s husband-to-be. Miles finds her theories impossible to believe. But intrigued by her passion and her beauty, Miles agrees to hire her and support her investigation. What starts as a professional relationship soon becomes personal—and dangerous. Not only because Miles is betrothed to another woman—but because Clio has become the Vampire’s next target . . . For lovers of puzzling mysteries, romantic histories, or just good old-fashioned sleuthing, this is a fast, fun read from “a writer to watch” (Publishers Weekly).
