He was supposed to catch killers, not marry one.
Detective Boston has built a career on hunting dangerous people. Rules don’t scare him. Blood doesn’t bother him. And morality has always been … negotiable.

But nothing prepares him for the night he walks in to find her.

An assassin for hire with electric blue hair, a blade in her hand, and no intention of being caught.

He should arrest her.
Instead, he makes her an offer.
Marry him, and he’ll keep her secret.
Refuse, and her life will fall apart.

For him, it’s a calculated move.
For her, it’s blackmail dressed up as a wedding.
Living with an assassin was never part of the plan.
But the longer they’re married, the harder it becomes to decide who is more dangerous.

Amal
“Did you really think you could run from me, Little Virgin?”
I betrayed the only man who ever made me feel safe.
I stole from him and ran.
For three months, I managed to stay gone.
Until the cathedral doors crash open and he comes to make good on an old promise.
"I’ll marry you myself before I let any other man touch you."
Now, I belong to Jet Blackstone, a man they call The Devil.
But Jet doesn’t know the real reason I ran. And he can’t ever find out.

I would have done anything for Amal. I’d have given her the f’ing world. All she had to do was ask.
Instead, she betrayed me.
Stole the one thing I should have destroyed a decade ago and disappeared.
She crossed an ocean.
I followed.
And when I found her, I bound her to me in the only way I knew how.
I made her my wife.
But before I can take my bride home, we’re attacked, and the past I thought I'd buried comes raging back.
Bloodlines matter to The Society.
They don’t forget. And they sure as hell don’t forgive.
Now they’ve come for what’s mine.
But I’ll burn their entire world down before I let them take her.

The only thing more dangerous than a hidden enemy… is one who steps into the light. She knows the name now.


When the architect of everything finally walked through Andi’s door wearing the face of a solution, Andi smiled and offered coffee.

Now the machine is cornered. Cornered machines don't retreat. They escalate."

The rules have changed. Witnesses disappear. People close to them are targeted — not as warnings, but as eliminations. The threat no longer stays hidden. It reaches into the places they once believed were safe. The gym. The house. The refuge Andi built for kids who had nowhere else to go.

She’s been afraid before. She knows how to do afraid.

But the truth buried in Andi's past will change the fight entirely — because it didn't start where she thought it did.

Luke Woods has one fight left before the title.

Andi Morgan has one chance to burn the machine down.

Survival isn't the goal. It's the bait.
 
Finish it.

I had nothing when I found her.
No roof. No patch. No name that meant anything to anyone.
I was just a man clawing his way out of the dark.
 
She didn’t see a lost cause. 
She saw me. Loved me.
But I had wounds even she couldn’t heal.


So, I pushed her away.
 
Two years had come and gone.
I was no longer the broken guy with nothing.
I’d faced my fears and earned my patch. 
I had everything I wanted. Except her. 
 
I’d fought for a place I could call home.
Now, I would fight for her. 
No matter what the cost.
 
Some people only get one chance at love.
I’m praying for a second.

He brought her home to his club; he didn’t know she came with a target on her back.

Ethan is a prospect in the Black Saints MC. That means he has no patch, he can’t take shortcuts, and he shouldn’t have any distractions from becoming a patched-in brother.

Then Cassie walks into his life; she’s quiet, guarded, and impossible to ignore. She doesn’t talk about her past, and doesn’t stay anywhere long. And she definitely doesn’t belong in a world like his.

But the moment she climbs onto the back of his bike… he’s done.

Cassie isn’t just hiding secrets. She’s running from a life that would drag her back in chains if it found her.

A powerful family. A forced marriage. And a past she risked everything to escape.

She thought she had more time, but she was wrong.

When the truth comes out, it doesn’t just threaten her; it puts the entire Black Saint’s MC in the crosshairs.

Now there’s a price on her head, eyes are watching her every move, and danger is closing in fast.

The Black Saints protect what’s theirs, and Ethan has already made his choice. She’s his.

Even if it means going to war with the people hunting her.

Even if it costs him everything.

Even if she never planned to stay.

Because once a Saint claims his woman…

There’s no walking away.

I sent an innocent man to prison.
For 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 I relived the events of that horrific night. A night that changed the course of my future and left me with the jagged pieces of a shattered mind and a broken soul.
For 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 I thought justice had been served, that the monster had gotten what he deserved.
Then the truth came crashing down.
And I realized, I wasn’t the victim at all . . .
I was the monster.
With guilt burrowing deep, eating away at my marrow, I disappeared into a darkness of my own making, punishing myself for every minute I roamed free, all while an innocent man remained locked behind bars. I traded the sunlight for the neon glare of the stage, and turned my body into a living reminder of my sins.
And then suddenly, he shows up.
A man tied to the worst mistake I ever made. A man who somehow reaches into the pit I dug for myself. A man who refuses to let me stay broken, trying to glue my fragments back together with kindness that cuts deeper than any blade.
He looks at me like I’m still worth loving.
But if he learns the truth—if he realizes the kind of person he’s falling for—will he still want me or will loving me be the biggest mistake he’s ever made?
Because monsters don’t get a happy ending . . . do they?

Amazon Review - “Honestly, this is one of the best books I’ve read this year. I really like books that pull on that raw emotion and that are unique stories. I feel like Rin Sher is always able to deliver in both of those areas.”
