Raven's Vale is mine. Well, partially mine. Crash and Kane help me rule over this small town. I've never wanted anything other than watching the life fade from someone's eyes after I've taken my knives to them. Until Hollis. She makes me question whether there's still a heart beating in my chest. For some reason, I want her... and I don't want to kill her. I want her under me. Submitting to my every whim. But I crave her fear too. She's my obsession... And I'll stop at nothing to make her mine. WARNING: If you have triggers, please proceed with caution. This is not a sweet romance.

And a rather twisted version of happily-ever-after.

As Jameson grows closer to their family, his world spirals and he is drawn into a tangled web of lies and corruption. Jameson must decide: will he rise above it? Or will he become a savage?

In it, you'll find the following tropes: - Touch her and die - Villain gets the girl - Fish-out-of-water - Found family - Badass women - Morally grey men - Love triangle - Pirates - Dystopian world - Plot twists - Fast-paced, high-stakes adventure - More snarky banter than you ever thought possible.

This is a standalone origin story for the villain in the Thalassic Series. You DO NOT need to read the other books before you read it! In fact, this makes a nice entry point to the series.

Business is good as there is no rest for the wicked in an underground world of hardcore criminals and contract killing. Relationships among the operatives have changed little over the past year-but things are about to change, and all six high-ranking members of the new Order will be blindsided by an unlikely enemy. Loved ones whose only ties to Victor's organization are their relationships with its members are abducted. The price to get them back safely: the six must confess their deepest, darkest secret to this mysterious young woman named Nora, who is as deadly as she is beautiful, and who seems to know more about each of them than they know about each other. And although no one has any clue about who Nora really is, it becomes clear that she also isn't whom she appears to be. So much more is at stake than secrets and the lives of innocent loved ones. With each member that Nora forces to confess, the truth about their dark pasts and their present objectives will cast suspicion, pit some against each other, and may tear others apart. Before the game is over everyone will know who this woman is and why she is here, but the damage she will leave in her wake could be the beginning of the new Order's destruction. Whose dark secret will be the darkest of all? And can Victor's Order survive any of them?
