The Firm Series by Cora Rose, Lark Taylor

The Firm can make any wish come true. Money. A job promotion. Murder. Whatever you desire can be yours—for a price. The Firm has ruled St. Dismas for generations. To most, they’re just a myth. But in truth, they are the last resort of the desperate. I never understood why anyone would go to The Firm. There’s always a price to pay—a price you won’t discover until your request has been granted. It was a path I swore I’d never walk. Or so I thought... moreThe Firm can make any wish come true. Money. A job promotion. Murder. Whatever you desire can be yours—for a price. The Firm has ruled St. Dismas for generations. To most, they’re just a myth. But in truth, they are the last resort of the desperate. I never understood why anyone would go to The Firm. There’s always a price to pay—a price you won’t discover until your request has been granted. It was a path I swore I’d never walk. Or so I thought. When my brother is gravely injured, everything changes. I have no choice but to go to The Firm. I don’t know what they’ll ask of me, but I’ll give anything to save Jackson. He has his whole life ahead of him, and I’ll make sure he gets to live it. But when my price comes due, it’s nothing like I expected. Not drug smuggling or murder. Not the darkness I braced myself for. No, this is worse. My price is to fulfill someone else’s request. To give them what they asked for. A marriage. For anyone else, it may seem simple. But not for me. Because the man I must marry is my worst enemy. My rival. The man I once trusted above all others—until he shattered that trust and threw it back in my face. The idea of pretending to be Matthias’s doting husband for a year is my worst nightmare. But I won’t do it for me. I’ll do it for Jackson. For my brother, I’ll pay the price. Even if it means condemning myself. less

In my defense, this is all Brad’s fault. I had one very important job: kidnap Brad. I’ve never kidnapped someone before but how hard could it be? Find Brad. Snatch Brad. Deliver Brad to the very scary people who hold my fate in their hands. So when a handsome, flirty stranger at the bar drops his name, I think my luck has finally turned. No chase. No fight. The man practically throws himself in my trunk, smiling like it’s a treat to be taken, like he wants me to have him... moreIn my defense, this is all Brad’s fault.

So when a handsome, flirty stranger at the bar drops his name, I think my luck has finally turned. No chase. No fight. The man practically throws himself in my trunk, smiling like it’s a treat to be taken, like he wants me to have him. The only problem? “Brad,” the charming and slightly unhinged man I’ve been keeping hostage for days, may be the most dangerous man of all. Now I’m knee-deep in a life of crime I never signed up for. Tangled up with a man I never meant to take—and definitely never meant to fall for. And I’m staring down the barrel of a gun for mistakes I never should’ve made. Because everyone knows The Firm never forgives a debt… and they always collect in blood. less

Staying vigilant, always thinking ten steps ahead, and holding the pieces of my life together with steady hands. Control is everything, because if I loosen my grip for even a moment, the darkness I’ve buried inside will claw its way free. Everything is stable. Predictable. Safe. Until Neo. He’s a distraction I can’t afford but a temptation I can’t seem to ignore. My darkness is drawn to him; it wants to be set free. And as our enemies close in, Neo becomes the one variable I can’t control… and the one risk I find myself wanting to take. Because for the first time, surrendering to the dark doesn’t feel like weakness. It feels a lot like love. less
