In Sedona’s red rock canyons, a former reporter must piece together her shattered memories in time to stop a killer in this cat-and-mouse thriller, perfect for fans of CJ Box and Anne Hillerman.

After a disastrous mistake ended her career as a crime reporter, Del Cooper returns to Sedona and takes a gig with a down-on-its-luck tour company while she rebuilds her life. Her peaceful small-town escape ends when, hiking in a remote red rock canyon, she finds the broken body of a murdered man.

At first, she believes the murder is connected to a proposed land trade that will pave the way for a luxury development on the edge of town, but it seems money isn’t the killer’s only motive. As she digs deeper, she uncovers the small town’s darkest secrets, all leading her to Lee Ranch, a former filming location for Western movies. Two women disappear after Del interviews them, and rumors begin to spin faster than Sedona’s famed energy vortexes. But she knows the truth: Someone is watching her from the shadows.

Hockey Romance Devlin Mafia Duet

🔗 Pre-Order on Amazon ➤ https://shorturl.at/7SFbm  

💀Mafia
💀Alphahole MMC
💀Brother's rival
💀Happy for now

One night.
Three lives lost.
Memories, poof, gone.

Everyone blames me—his friends, my best friend—all gone. I can’t remember what happened, but Xaden Devlin does.
He’s the devil wrapped in a beautiful package.
I'm a moth to his flame.
And he’s made it his mission to destroy me.
He’s the heir to the most feared family in town—cold, cruel, and carved from vengeance.
He calls me Tink, a cruel reminder that
“Fairies die when no one believes in them anymore.”
The more he taunts me, the more I see the truth in his eyes…
The truth about that night.
The truth about my family.
And most of all the truth about us.
Maybe the devil isn’t the monster after all.
Maybe I am.

“You want to bite me?” I taunt, my gaze locked on her mouth. “Do it, baby. Hurt me. Make me feel it.”

Blurb:
𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐢𝐞.

𝒞𝑒𝒸𝒾𝓁𝒾𝒶
After years of evading the Exodus, the secret society responsible for my family’s destruction, I’m back and seeking revenge. Every decade, the Exodus hosts the Reckoning, a deadly gathering where members engage in sinister games. My plan: to cause as much destruction as I can even if it means infiltrating their prestigious party and eliminating them. Nothing will stand in my way—not even Darian Delacroix, the enigmatic Elder who has me in his sights.

𝒟𝒶𝓇𝒾𝒶𝓃
Cecilia Van Der Meer believed she could escape the Exodus, but she was mistaken. As the heiress to one of the largest fortunes in the country and the daughter of the Elder behind my family’s demise, she has become a target. Fortunately for me, she’s now caught in my web, and I refuse to let her slip away. I’m determined to break her, just as her father shattered my family. But the stakes are high, and the lines between love and vengeance are about to blur.

Tropes:
🖤Dark Romance
🖤Enemies to Lovers
🖤Revenge
🖤Age Gap
🖤Secret Society
🖤Blackmail

Blurb:

They didn’t want her gone.

They wanted her ruined.

Rowyn learned early how to survive by staying invisible.

Quiet. Careful. Forgettable.

But at Lockridge, invisibility is an invitation.

They see her softness as something to press into.

Her body as something to comment on.

Her silent as consent.

What starts as cruelty turns ritualistic.

What should break her begins to change her.

Because Rowyn is done begging to be left alone. And the boys who made her their game are about to learn something dangerous.

She was never made to bend. She was made to break something back.
