A virgin librarian with hot-chick potential, the conflicts in her story won’t let you put the book down. Be prepared for an all-nighter…

She watches the mob kill her twin and is too frozen with fear to stop them. How can she live with that cowardice eating away at her self-respect? Revenge claws at her sheltered existence until she can’t breathe. Though she’s naïve, she isn’t stupid. When she finds a stash of loot in her brother’s gym locker, she has the means.
Now all she needs is the guts to make every one of those low-life gang members pay.

People might think detectives are hard-assed cops with no home life, but Trace McGuire has a dying mom he loves fiercely. Already stressed over his personal problems, he takes a bullet for a virgin beauty hiding while mobsters shoot her brother.
This chick draws out every protective instinct he thought had disintegrated over years on the job and he becomes invested – in her hot body, her plans for retaliation and her fighting spirit.

Helpless, he watches her enter the seedy underworld that’ll eat her alive.

Then he sees her fight.

And wonders if they’ll survive her.

Book #1 - Retaliation
Cass won't rest until her brother's murderers are jailed or dead. She goes after them one at a time with no intention of stopping until she has her revenge. Detective McGuire takes a bullet for her. Now the annoying man believes she’s his responsibility and wants to stop her, protect her... control her.

Book #2 - Justice
When she continues to dig for information on who killed her brother, Cassi's life becomes fraught with danger. Between bartending in a sleazy joint, getting into fights with hookers and trying to scare off her stalker, she never seems to get any time to just be a girl in love.

Book #3 - Resolution
Since her brother Raoul’s murder at the hands of his own gang members, revenge has driven Cass to find answers. Money, hidden by Raoul, is funding her quest. And tenacity born of hate fuels the relentless need to make those killers pay.

Book #4 - Endings
Cassi’s a fighter who won’t stop until she gets justice for her murdered brother. Once she’s faced with the ultimate cost, will she be able to see it through? And can she live with herself if she doesn't?

Book #5 - Faith
Faith’s always tried to be a good person. From the beginning, everything was against her. A sick mother forced her into a world of drugs and sexual dysfunction that she couldn’t overcome. Until she lost the man she loved and found a baby who filled her heart.

Book #6 -Leni
Leni believes her mother didn't come back for her because she'd died. Wrong! Blackmail finally forces the woman out of the shadows. On top of these stresses, Leni learns the name of her cousin's killer. Payback is her only option.

From the Author

Cassi is my facorite heroine. She never stops trying, fighting against overwhelming odds. Her humor kept me involved, and her sassy attitude gave me satisfaction as I created the woman I wish I could emulate. I'd love to know if the rewaders feel the same.

Not so shy anymore

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2019

With the length of this book you would think it would have a conclusion it does not it leaves you with questions and a big cliffhanger. Cassidy stood by shocked, helpless and full of fear as she witnessed her twin brother being murdered. Her brother was involved with the wrong crowd. Cassidy was a librarian shy an innocent. The day her brother was murdered all that shattered. Trace is a hardcore protective person of those he cares for and the one person he cares for most is his dying mother. But when he meets Cassidy it's a strange feeling for him to feel protective of her. He watches Cassidy transform herself from the shy innocent librarian to a hardcore fighting machine. She transforms her look, her attitude her life goals and profession. While she builds her life around revenge she also builds a relationship with Trace he even though he is a detective assigned to her brothers case and is a professional he finds himself bending the rules for Cassidy he even takes a bullet for her. They form a bond and a love blooms. But he does not like watching her fight although he is amazed at her for her abilities. The book does have a conclusion but it is not a final one I believe this is the first book in this series. We are left with a cliffhanger

When Cassidy’s twin brother is shot and killed by a gang member, she’s devastated, and becomes obsessed to identify the murderer and seek justice.
But to do this, she needs to be stronger, transforming from the good girl next door into a fearless fighter who puts herself in danger time and time again. Trace McGuire is the detective who’s assigned to solve her brother’s murder. Although the last thing he wants are complications in his life, he finds himself drawn to Cassie, but deeply concerned when she continuously risks her life to seek the truth.
Sparks fly when they decide to work together, and Trace finds himself wanting to protect Cass while falling for her hard. But they each have trust issues, and there are times when they withhold information from each other.
If you crave action, thrills, mystery, amazing characters—and of course captivating, sizzling romance—you’re going to love this series!

One of the coolest heroines I've ever read about!

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018

I confess I am a sucker for tough, kicka$$ heroines, and Cassidy made me think immediately "Damn, I want to be like her!". I loved this story because it has everything: romance, suspense, mystery, thrills, and a good dose of humor. Not to mention Trace, the hot detective who manages to be a hero even when this heroine can take care of herself. Great read!

Great story with big life changes. The lose of a loved brother brings more changes than expected. Ends on a bit of a hanger but the story flows nicely.

Good read!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 21, 2021

Cassidy is a naive, gullible, protected, (from her late father and brother,) librarian, at 27 she's pure innocence, until she witnesses her twin get murdered. In the same night she meets Trace, a detective, sparks fly between them but she has retaliation on her mind!
A good read, good characters and the storyline is also good albeit a little unbelievable in places. The story continues in the next books.
Found it free.

Don't like cliffhangers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

Great characters, love Trace and Cass, she is a little spitfire. I didn't realise that this was part one of a series, There is a cliffhanger which spoils it for me, I don't like cliffhangers. I don't mind a series with a theme running through out, but prefer the rest of the story to have an ending in each book. But that's just me, I read so much that by the time I get to books three and four etc in a series, I can't remember what happened in the beginning. I am interested in reading the next book though.
