I loathe Alastor Shaw.

The city of San Francisco thinks we're rival artists.

In truth, we're predators battling for hunting ground.

We never chased the same prey. Until the night we both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch.

Shaw wants to use her as a pawn in his twisted game.

I'm fixated on her for a different reason...

She makes me feel things I never thought I could feel. Want things I never wanted.

Only she can make me lose control.

I don't know if I should protect her at all costs... or destroy her before she ruins me.

Mara knows I'm no saint. But she has no idea she's dancing with the devil...


The Lark Notes:
I have always been fascinated by true crime, as well as by villains and anti-heroes. A serial killer is, of course, the ultimate anti-hero -- the baddest of the bad boys. Redeeming a character who starts so evil was a challenge that inspired me to entirely new heights and entirely new depths. Come on this darkly sensual and utterly brain-bending ride with me! -- Sophie

"There Are No Saints" is the first book in the Sinners Duet. Reader be warned: this book contains extremely dark themes that might be triggering to some. This is a steamy serial killer romance that will take you on a journey through the twisted mind of an artist on the brink of madness.

There Are No Saints

I Couldn't Kill Mara...

But that doesn't mean Shaw won't.

She's living in my house, always with me, always under my control.

The more I push her, the more she pushes back.

She's peeling away my secrets, one by one. And I'm tempting her to do things she never thought she'd do...

Shaw won't stop hunting her.

When the time comes to act, will Mara be ready?


The Lark Notes:
I was so pleased how many women identified with Mara's character - with her sensory issues and history of trauma. It sounds crazy to call this an "inspirational story of murder", but at the end of part two, I hope you will indeed feel inspired by Mara's journey. -- Sophie

"There Is No Devil" is the second half of the Sinners Duet. Reader be warned: this is a dark and steamy serial killer romance that may be triggering to some.

He's always there, watching and waiting.
And I can never look away.
Not when I want him to come closer.

But now that I have, I can't stay away.
I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves.

And once she is, I'll never let her go.
Not even when she begs me to.

All four books of the scarred souls series by Tillie Cole. Raze and Reap are two books in one and then you have Ravage and Riot. These books are worn because at the time they were my favorite and I’ve had them for a couple years. Still very much readable and enjoyable.

Scarred Souls Series 

*This is a standalone, new adult, hockey romance novel with morally gray characters*

3 years ago, she ruined my life. Now I'm going to return the favor...

My reputation at Fairview University preceded me. I was the projected number-one pick in the NHL draft and the fan favorite at the rink. People wanted to be me or be with me.

Except for Lyla James Marichal.

She didn't look at me like I was her next meal. She eyed me with disdain.

Instead of vying for my attention, she ignored me and pushed me away.

She was completely unattainable, and I became obsessed with her.

When I finally got her, it felt like I was on top of the world. I was going to help the team win another championship, going into the draft, and had Lyla by my side.

And then, without warning, she left me.

Vanished.

It took me three bitter, angry, long years to find her, but I did, and now she owes me a lot more than just an explanation.

Three years ago, she ruined my life.

Now, I was going to become her worst nightmare.

The Ruinous Love Trilogy

From the author of the TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird comes the second book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy--an enemies-to-lovers dark romantic comedy that turns up the danger, chaos, and heat! Contract killer Lachlan Kane just wants a quieter life, to work in his leather studio and forget about the traumatic past that's forged him into a deadly weapon. But he needs to repay an endless debt, at least until the day his boss offers him a deal: marry Lark Montague, the daughter of his most valued business partner. The only problem? They can't stand each other. Indie singer-songwriter Lark is the sunshine and glitter that burns through every cloud and clings to every crevice that Lachlan tries to hide inside. A rich family, a privileged life, a dearth of responsibilities--Lark has had an easy life. At least, that's how it seems. But Lark is on the verge of losing her security. And now it's time to prove she can get control of her haphazard future. What better way than to marry a man who's the exact opposite of her usual type? As Lachlan and Lark navigate the intrigue and secrets of the hidden world that binds them together, it becomes harder to discern a fake marriage from a real one. But it's not just familiar dangers that haunt them. There's another phantom lurking on their doorstep. And this one has come for blood.
