Convict's Game (Skeleton Crew, #1)
***Sequel to the #1 bestseller Body Count***
I never planned to chain a gangster to my bed, but now, I’m not letting him go.
I was raised in boardrooms, not back alleys.
But when my grandfather died and our company fell into chaos, I uncovered something far worse than bad accounting: a connection to the city’s darkest underworld.
I needed answers. I needed help.
So I made a deal with a devil in a skeleton mask. One with a body made for sin and a past that might destroy us both.
Convict is brutal, broken, beautiful, and claims he knows me, even if he’s a stranger. Amnesia stole his memories, yet the way he touches me, looks at me, and possesses me, tells a different story.
Now I’m in too deep, with the man, with his skeleton crew, and with the secrets someone is killing to protect.
And the only way out is to bring it all crashing down.

I didn't mean to draw Kane's attention, but he turned it into a hunt.
When my friend vanished without a trace, I vowed to bring her home.
I didn’t expect to team up with a towering, silent, ex-mercenary whose reputation sends grown men running.
Kane is a dangerous man.
He doesn’t ask for what he wants, he takes it.
Becoming his prey is a fool’s game, yet I can’t stop prying into the secrets he guards, even as I hide my own.
But the deeper we dig into Dixie’s disappearance, the more the world tilts.
And when another body surfaces in Deadwater, the stakes grow ever higher.
Now I’m falling for the predator who’d kill to keep me safe… and destroy himself in the process.
