  Trapped between killers and cops, his only way out is to unleash the monster. Tom Lewis is broken. Gentle. Slow. A man the world overlooks. But inside him lives something else. Jimmy Blue. Cold. Brilliant. Merciless. He avenged his parents. Now he’s taking on London’s crime lords. London’s streets are littered with bodies, and the police are closing in. To escape, Tom boards a freighter bound for New York. But the freighter offers no sanctuary. Seven passengers are worth fortunes dead. The crew are killers—and the passengers are pawns in a deadly game. And across the ocean, the cops are waiting with handcuffs. Tom can’t survive what’s coming. But Jimmy Blue might. Once Jimmy Blue boards, there’s no hiding. No escape. Only death.

  Moira Wicked is back home for good. She's settling in to help run Persnickety Potions & Gifts, her family's store. Even though she's loath to admit it, she's a bit relieved to be home. Here in Charm Cove, there's nothing unusual about the last name Wicked and it's more uncommon to encounter someone who isn't a witch, rather than the other way around. 
   
   
   
  Just when Moira thinks life might be quieting down, there's a spate of burglaries around town. It's no accident that the homes and businesses being targeted belong to witches. Once again, the oh-so-charming Charm Cove is all atwitter. Amidst the undercover investigation, tourists are still crowding the streets, seeking the magic and charm of the little town. 
   
   
   
  Moira is in the middle of sleuthing out what happened, seeing as Persnickety Potions & Gifts was one of the burglar's targets. As if she didn't already have enough going on trying to hold her nosy family at bay. 
   
   
   
  There's still that pesky destiny she's supposed to fulfill—specifically by marrying Liam Good. She might be on the way to falling in love with Liam, but she's not so sure about marriage yet. A Wicked is fated to fall in love with a Good once every century. No pressure or anything.

It is presented here in its original and unabridged format and has been narrated by renowned audiobook performers Ben Werling, Kevin Theis and Sara Nichols.
