But that’s not the life she wants for herself. So she joins a band. Catherine battles hard to succeed—and is aided by a mysterious guardian angel: a man who has connections to her mother and knows things about her family that could change her life forever. But as her star gradually begins to rise and her world feels more secure, a horrifying event reveals she can’t escape her origins that easily, and what matters most is survival.

Winter's Stalker - Winter Black...

Mary Stone

You know what you did. So do I. 
The man who’s been stalking Private Investigator Winter Black is dead, but he wasn’t working alone. Threats linger in the shadows, and she can’t shake the chilling feeling that she’s being watched. 
It’s about to get personal…again. 
A flyer advertising her business—Black Investigations—was found on the tenth-floor balcony of a woman who apparently jumped to her death. Except Winter has never seen the brochure before. Stranger still, her two newest clients received the same fake flyer, along with a blackmail letter. 
Pay for your crime or kill yourself. 
Did the dead woman receive the same threat and choose option two? Or did someone make that choice for her? 
As Winter digs deeper into her clients’ dark confessions and pasts, she finds more questions than answers—and a terrifying pattern. Someone is playing a twisted game, and the flyers are an invitation for Winter to play…whether she wants to or not. But it’s hard to win when you don’t know the rules. Or your opponent. 
The stakes have never been higher in Winter’s Stalker, the darkly addictive seventh book in the Winter Black Season Two series, where one thing becomes chillingly clear: in this game, there are fates worse than death.
