The Year We Burned
Some loves don't ever leave you. Some leave bodies.
Rue was fourteen the first time Wyatt Cane took her hand in the dark and told her they were getting out of Saber and never looking back. She was fifteen when everything caught fire.
For seven years she watched the tree line. She told herself she didn't know what she was waiting for.
When the bodies start turning up in Newton County — posed, marked with scripture, eyes removed — Rue recognizes it the way you finally recognize the thing you're afraid of most.
Some stories only end one way. This one was always going to burn. The only question was who would be left standing in the ash.

Shadows of Justice
Viv Schaeffer is a fiery, no-nonsense cop in Los Angeles who’s never met a rule she didn’t like. But something in her life is lacking.
Her world gets turned upside down when she meets wanted criminal Leo Barone and is torn when there seems to be much more to him than meets the eye. As she stumbles into Leo’s world of vigilante justice, Viv starts to question the system that she’s committed her life to serving—when the thrill of saving lives outside of the law is just as seductive as the man she’s doing it with.
Is her new affinity for a certain sexy criminal clouding her judgment? Or is she part of a broken system that needs fixing?
Shadows of Justice is a steamy, enemies-to-lovers romance where the characters' decisions are painted in shades of grey. Due to its graphic nature, it is intended for audiences 18+ only, and reading the list of trigger warnings at the beginning of the book is recommended.
