Will he kill the one who can save him…again?

Special ops turned professional killer, Vespar McKauley is hired to take out Marcolm Rogers, son of his employer’s worst enemy. But Marc isn’t like any hit he’s ever done. He’s just twenty-one, he goes to a private university studying English Lit, and for fun he plays computer games with his friends. No drugs, no partying, no crime. The day he bumps into Marc and looks into his azure eyes, the world drops out from under him.

With his father in the Chicago Crime Syndicate, Marc and his mom have stayed out of the limelight, hiding from those that might harm them. He figures he’s safe at a small liberal arts university all the way across the country. Only midway through his senior year, he feels eyes on him and the shadows encroaching. Just as he’s about to run, he meets Vespar and experiences an instant attraction. When Vespar tells him he’s in danger and offers to protect him, Marc wants to believe him. But he’s been hunted before, and this time he isn’t sure he’ll get away. Especially when he finds out he is Vespar’s target.

Order of the Black Knights:
Every century has seen its knights. But there are those that are never seen. They do what must be done, what has to be done – the jobs where nobody wants to get their hands dirty. They are called the Black Knights. First created in the 1100s, these men seem cold and hard, and of some, it is said they have no soul. But for each knight, there is one who can bring out the man that waits inside. The question is whether or not he will kill the individual before he figures it all out.

Former US Marine John Ving hates everything about holiday displays: they’re tacky, they waste energy, and they’re an eyesore. So what does his new neighbor do? He sets up the holiday spectacle from hell, and he doesn’t seem to care which holiday—he has a menorah, a baby Jesus, a Santa, and everything in between. Not to mention it’s swathed in enough lights his house is probably visible from space.

High-school teacher Kaden Melling loves the holidays, and huge light displays on his lawn make his heart glow. He’d love to share some cheer—and maybe some kinky fun—with his smoking hot neighbor John. Odd things start to happen to his displays, but just as he begins to think life is going his way, with the holidays and with John, a Grinch destroys everything.

It’s gonna take the display-hating John to set things right—and what he has planned might blow Kaden’s mind.

Everything changes in life, and Pascal Van Der Braack knows that.

He knows the constant conundrum that taints and twists the rules. He’s usually the one who twirls them, effortlessly. But what he doesn’t know is how his last threads of sanity will weather this current storm brewing.

Lilah has lied.
Alexander has lied.
And Jon Innsbrucker has stolen his daughter.

All his hopes now lie with the woman who cheated him of love, a man who won’t tell him the damned truth while he smiles out his amusement, and his own sense of harbored self-reliance.

Games and manipulations — the highest order of any day’s pleasure, but not this time. This time war has begun and the clock is ticking down a death watch over his precious moments. Safety is key, and it begins the journey that takes him to a place he considers sanctuary. Rome.

Where will they all be at the end of the day? And who will love whom in this eternal quest for peace?
