I was determined to fulfill my best friend’s dying wish: see the lost Moriarty paintings in person.With two Moriartys in hand, I tracked down the final painting – and walked straight into a deadly trap.
Caleb Forrester, a Marvel detective working a case, was also caught.
He was broody, quiet, and the exact distraction I couldn't afford.
Caleb’s arrival unveiled a centuries-old mystery promising to destroy the world. Cults, stolen paintings, secrets, and a thirst for him I can't deny... the mission might be the least dangerous part of all this.

Whispers of the apocalypse weren't my thing.Neither was working a job that put me in the path of a dangerous cult.
Again.
But then Maddox, the devastatingly handsome dragon shifter, flew into my life. Despite our icy start, an undeniable connection sparked, pushing us together in a desperate hunt for the missing paintings.
The Crimson Ring clearly wanted them just as bad. I’m suddenly faced with a choice: master the power I despise using or watch the cult bring about the end of the world.
The stakes are terrifying, yet with every brush of his skin against mine, I start to crave Maddox so deeply it threatens to eclipse even my fear of the apocalypse.
