Lure

2022

When it comes to book smarts, I'll never be anyone's first choice. Luckily, when a wealthy and dangerous stranger picks me off the street to work for him, he uses me for my body, not my brains. KIT I'm the bait tasked with luring men into his trap. I have no idea what he does with them. I don't want to know. Until the night he tells me to run, but I stay. Now I know what he's really capable of...the blood on his hands... But the danger, being part of something so exciting, only makes me want him more. SULLY My life was simple before he swishes his way into it with his catsuits and kitty ear headbands. I’m only interested in the men he gets me close enough to kill. Until he pounces in my lap, meows at me, and changes everything. I'm straight, but I want him. I send him to lure men, but they must not touch him. I take pleasure in seeing them want him, but know they’ll never have him. This cat-and-mouse game between us can only end one way. Should I let him go before his innocence gets stained by the darkness of my world? Lure is the first book in The Hitman's Bait series with a grumpy hitman and the boy he hires to lure men into a trap. All books in this series will be of the same couple, and each book will end with an HFN. Each book will follow a different lead. There is no cheating and no breakups between the main characters. The couple enjoys exhibitionism and playing flirtatious games with other men, observing strict rules of a no-touch policy, but watching is absolutely free.

Hook

2022

KIT Dodging bullets and jumping from two story buildings are things I’d only ever seen in movies. Never would I have expected that this would become my life. I keep deadly secrets for the man I love. I’ll follow him across countries to have his back. Why am I willing to risk everything for him? Because of the look in his eyes when I purr for him. SULLY Working with Kit is my greatest joy. And my worst nightmare. He lets love cloud his judgment. But how can I be mad at him when his recklessness has saved my life more than once? After the Grimaldo incident, I live in constant fear that every job might be our last. I have only a month left before I’m a free agent. But what if my job doesn’t allow me to walk away? I was prepared for a fight. What I have on my hands is a war instead. A war I’ll need friends to help me fight if we want to come out of this alive. Hook is book 2 in A Hitman's Bait series. This book is not meant to be read as a stand-alone as the series consist of the same characters and a running story arc. Expect a morally gray story with light banter, intense suspense, and an extremely romantic hitman who pampers the boy he uses as bait.

Tackle

2022

SULLY Calling a truce with the Grimaldos should have given us all a breather. I should celebrate that my contract as a hitman for the mafia is ending. Instead, I find myself involved with the mafia more than ever. My life is spiraling out of control. Nothing makes sense anymore. Except the need to protect my kitten at all costs. KIT If my near-death experiences have taught me anything, it’s that I was born to survive. To love a hitman named Sullivan Matthews. And that I’ll be no one’s victim ever again. Everyone thinks my heart is too soft. That I’ll never be as ruthless as I want to be. But soon I have no choice. The one thing more savage than a hitman’s need to protect his lover… Is his lover’s need to protect him. If we can’t walk away from this life alive. Then we’ll just have to take over this city and make it ours.
