  Park Chen has spent most of his life as a killer—a deadly, deep cover operative known as the Bone Collector. Now, he’s been benched. Reassigned as an instructor at Project Watchtower, he’s tasked with training a school of psychopathic assassins while trying to keep a promise to his friends. 
  Gift Ayutthaya isn’t treated like a gift at all. If anything, his parents treat him as a burden, though a spoiled one. After an attempt on his life, they pass that burden onto someone else. Park. The man Gift’s been fantasizing about for years. A man who sees him as an adorable but incompetent distraction. 
  It’s no secret that Gift doesn’t belong at the Watch, but Park’s made a vow to keep him safe. Gift has made a vow, too. He’s going to use every weapon in his arsenal to find a way to seduce Park and make him love him, once and for all. Or die trying. 
  Loving Gift was never the issue—Park’s already there. But assignments at the Watch aren’t optional. To stay, Gift has to prove himself, something Park just can’t allow. Can Gift get Park to see that, when it comes to murder, Gift is aptly named? Or will he be relegated to the sidelines in both school and in love? 
  The Bone Collector is an action packed, smoking hot, age gap romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a rule-following assassin turned reluctant teacher of psychopaths and an adorable, off-limits, fumbling student who just can’t seem to stay away from each other. Prepare yourself for gratuitous violence, very dark humor, more blood than an ‘80s horror movie, and enough heat to fog up a window factory. This is book one in the The Watch series. Each book follows a different couple.

  Secrets at Every Turn: A Life Shrouded in Duality
   
  On the surface, Alex Banner lives the life of a successful business executive, a man who juggles family obligations with the demands of his career. Yet hidden beneath this conventional facade is a man who has spent over two decades entrenched in the shadowy world of international espionage. In a life marked by duality, every decision carries the weight of secrets kept from those dearest to him.
   
  Step into a world where every action has profound consequences. Alex's journeys span continents and are marked by encounters that blur the line between ally and adversary. Each face he encounters is a reminder of the complex web of connection he navigates in pursuit of a cause greater than himself. Every choice teeters on the delicate balance between a duty to his clandestine endeavors and loyalty to his family—oblivious to the hidden life he leads.
   
  Imagine the tension of living in constant duality. The faces of allies, turned informants, and friends, turned foes haunt him. As Alex reflects on his path, the true cost of his enigmatic existence becomes clear. A burden of secrets shared with no one; they weigh heavily on his conscience. What began as a mission wrapped in patriotism becomes a personal struggle of moral ambiguity and the sacrifice it demands.
   
  Be drawn into the compelling story of a man who must confront the intricacies of human relationships forged under extraordinary circumstances. Will Alex Banner's alter ego unravel the threads binding his two worlds, or will he master the delicate art of balance? Join him as he stands at the crossroads, with everything at stake and secrets at every turn.
