    Summary

    Waking up chained in the dark is a problem. Waking up chained in the dark bearing multiple stab wounds that should’ve killed him is an even bigger one, threatening a secret that Nykim has protected viciously for the last decade.

    His captor, who remains infuriatingly anonymous, is determined to drag evidence of that secret out of him. The woman that asshole uses to help is as unsuited for torture as she is for staying unattached to handsome prisoners, despite her utter terror of him.

    But despite having a reputation as the city’s most notorious packmaster–and an office full of the bones of his enemies to back it up–Nykim isn’t the heartless bastard the city knows him as. Escape should be his number one priority, but something about that woman calls to him.

    Something that will end up costing them both.

    This is now a duology. The first book is essentially complete and ends on chapter 21, with the second book continuing from there. If I'd known there were gonna be two, I'd've split them, but, well.

    Neither is Carr's; her past traumas have shaped her in ways many find offputting. Can Resh and Carr find a way to make their fledgling relationship work, or will their pasts tear them apart before they get the chance?

    Summary

    Mrs. Breanna Hatchett, married to Constable Baden Hatchett, the illustrious lead officer who keeps her city safe, has spent four years existing quietly in a life half-lived—striving to be the perfect wife and always falling short.

    One day, a chance encounter in her husband’s prison brings her face-to-face with a captured thief from the notorious thieving gang Iustitia aecum. Although she vows to forget the boy to whose brutal punishment she bears witness, it soon becomes clear that forgetting him is something she simply cannot do.

    On a whim, for the first time in years, Breanna takes a chance and seeks out the thief—and in a flash, her life is changed forever.

    THE QUEEN OF LIES is a tale of quiet courage, inner strength, and forbidden love—and the ways we can change our lives for the better if only we dare to take a leap of faith.
