1. SKELETONS OF SOCIETY by Marie Maravilla
SYNOPSIS
So the streets taint another soul…
Ryan
To survive in the Los Muertos Cartel, you have to stay useful, especially when you're a woman. So I made sure I couldn’t be replaced. Now my name is whispered about in the shadows— La Brujita de Los Muertos. Too bad I forgot that lies and deceit are the lifeblood of this toxic paradise. I should have seen the betrayal coming. My hands were always destined to be drenched in the blood of guilty men.
Gunner
Sometimes it takes someone willing to walk in the dark to allow others to live in the light. She is a beautiful savage. All the things I am not supposed to have and maybe never will. Meeting her changed all of my plans, altered the very fabric of my future.
2. SYNDICATE OF SINS by Marie Maravilla
SYNOPSIS
The problem with caging a predator, someday, they may get out…
Scarletta
Bastard, daughter of a traitor. To the Italian Don of New York, I’m nothing more than a tool to be wielded. My obedience was the price I had to pay for the sins of my father. But Dominick Romano should have worked on gaining my loyalty because the chains he shackled me with have been undone.
The Four Families have always run New York. Italian Mafia, Irish Mob, Russian Bratva, and the Jirocho Yakuza Clan. An alliance cloaked in proclamations of peace while they hold knives to one another’s backs. But a new player has emerged, The Syndicate. Three men born of the same blood as those whose kingdoms they’ve come to conquer.
They think they can use me the same way my uncle did, but they’re in for a rude awakening when they realize I’m not a damsel in distress. There’s been a blade in my hand this whole time, and I’ve been waiting to land the blow that starts the bloodbath.
I will not bow at their feet. But soon, all of New York, and those who think they can rule it, will kneel at mine. These three included...
3. CITY OF SALVATION by Marie Maravilla
SYNOPSIS
Natasha was dead. Burned to ashes. Nikki was the woman who’d risen.
Nikki
Running away and becoming someone new would be far easier if the demons of my past didn’t insist on showing up at my doorstep. Turns out that leaving an evil Russian Bratva leader at the altar after helping stage his assassination only pissed him off and made me a target. I tried blending, but hiding in the shadows under a fake alias is no longer enough.
It should have been easy to keep my distance from the MC member burdened with protecting me. He is just as averse to commitment as I am, yet he’s been the only person ever to see me, even through all the smoke and mirrors I keep between us.
Dex
She’s shrouded in secrets, and there’s nothing I want more than to peel back every layer and discover what’s at her core. The glimpses she gives me have me hooked in a way I’ve never experienced before. I’ve always been: No commitments. No girlfriends—hell, I’ve never had a female friend. Yet here I am, wanting to protect her, to be the weapon she wields against her enemies. Because if there’s one thing I have learned during our time together, it’s that the ache in my chest only stops when I am with her. She’s mine now.
