Pick a window, any window.... When he breaks into Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Gracen’s spare bedroom in the middle of the night, gutshot and bleeding out, Jake Harris has one goal—survive long enough to find the monster who killed his mother. He doesn’t expect to be distracted by the mousy, reclusive artist or to entangle her in his mission, but fate has other ideas. Charlie has spent her life avoiding trouble, more than happy to keep her head down and stay in her safe space, but now trouble has found her—in the form of one sexy, Australian art thief. Helping a wounded man is one thing. Anything more is out of the question. But between being stalked by contracted killers, a US Marshal and a Polish crime lord with an agenda of his own, Charlie finds herself being pushed out of her shell—and turning to Jake for more than protection. Caught up in a net of international intrigue and forces beyond their control, will Jake and Charlie find what they're both looking for before it's too late? A sizzling, globe-trotting romance in the vein of Nora Roberts and Maya Banks.

When her ex-husband disappears, Stacia drops everything to find out why. It doesn't matter what happened between them or that Lucjan isn't technically her ex. It doesn't even matter that saving him will mean reentering Lucjan's dark and dangerous world, where guns, drugs, and flesh are the currency of choice and the bratva lurks around every corner. What does matter is the price they'll both pay. Because in this world, the past always catches up with you. And debts are paid in blood. \Book #2 in the Arts & Crimes duo.\
