Hot-headed and soft-hearted Street Crimes Detective, Lucy "Lucky" Sorin, can't seem to stay out of trouble. She even manages to get kicked off the task force working to bring down the Rat Lords, an outlaw motorcycle club in town. Instead of taking a demotion she turns in her badge, grabs her stick and goes looking for a level table with fast cloth--at the Rat Lords' clubhouse. While all eyes are on the ex-cop turned pool hustler, Lucky only has eyes for Mira Allen, the club president's lover. With her smooth stroke and smart mouth, it doesn't take long for Lucky to find trouble again. Tempers soon flare and nothing is quite what it seems. Everyone has a secret someone else is willing to kill for--and Lucky is dangerously behind the eight-ball.

Dog walker-turned murder investigator Matilda Smithwick again finds herself in the middle of a slew of murders.

Alex has spent every waking hour since to keep Castle Resorts afloat, letting her relationship with Tyler take a backseat. Just when Alex and Tyler commit to getting back on track, decades-old dark secrets surrounding a scandalous affair, rape, abandonment, and confidential adoptions come to light. Someone in the Castle family's past with a deep grudge holds the oldest secret of them all and intends on exacting revenge. The tsunami of secrets converges and threatens to tear apart their families and tear down the businesses of every Castle child. No one close to Alex and Tyler is left untouched. Can Alex and Tyler pull each other through? Will their love be enough to keep everything they'd built from coming undone?

Can love thrive in the shadow of a secret?

Can you protect someone and still protect the one thing you cares more about than anything else?
