My ex-husband, a high-level administrator with Interpol, is tangled in a dangerous web of arms deals and criminal alliances. When I uncover his secret, I become a liability—and hunted. Desperate and out of options, I make one last call for help to Cerberus, and land in the arms of the man I thought died a decade ago. Nick Ryeland. Ghost. The one man I never stopped loving. He’s not the soldier I remember. He’s darker now, both in secrets and desires, with scars that run deep and a protective streak that borders on possessive. Nick is part of Cerberus, a private security firm with ties to a discreet lifestyle club where trust, control, and connection are everything. It’s there, hidden behind locked doors and luxury, that I’m told I’ll be safe. But danger is never far behind and neither is the heat between us. As we run from the enemies closing in, every moment together unearths feelings I tried to bury. Nick says he’ll protect me. That I belong to him. I want to believe him. I just hope trusting him won’t get us both killed. Welcome to Club Opus Noir. Where shadows conceal secrets, passion blurs the lines of control, and love can be the most dangerous risk of all. Dive into this pulse-pounding romantic suspense series featuring elite Cerberus operatives, high-stakes missions, and unforgettable second chances. less

They say I’m dead. Good. That lie has kept me alive for years. I was MI6’s best, until an extraction mission in Prague went up in flames. Three agents died. One of them was Logan’s partner. Logan who is cold, relentless, and the only man who ever got under my skin. Now I’m back, and I need his help. I have something he wants, a ledger that could expose a black-market arms ring and shatter Cerberus from the inside. But Logan doesn’t trade in favors. He trades in control... moreThey say I’m dead.

Logan who is cold, relentless, and the only man who ever got under my skin. Now I’m back, and I need his help. I have something he wants, a ledger that could expose a black-market arms ring and shatter Cerberus from the inside. But Logan doesn’t trade in favors. He trades in control. His terms are simple: I belong to him for the duration of the mission. Every breath, every move, every surrender, under his command. But as we spiral deeper into a world of shadows and lies, across glittering casinos, brutal fortresses, and private clubs where control is currency, I start to question everything I thought I knew, about the mission, about Cerberus, and about the man who holds all the power. Because the most dangerous thing I’ve ever done… Is let Logan Radcliffe back into my heart. less
