Summary

What happens when the acclaimed international TV crime drama, Blue Bloods, inspires a story?
 
It brings to life Him, book two in the Illicit Things series.
 
 
 
Revenge never tasted so damn sweet…
 
Young adult author, Sean Ryan, has finally got his life under control and back on track, until she screws it all up and he’s sent down the river to purgatory. Again.
 
After spending one month in detention, he has five months of house arrest and weekly mandatory therapy for breaking into her brownstone. But all he did was steal her underwear, and set up secret surveillance cameras around her house, especially in the private boudoir and bathroom to watch her undress and shower, and to entertain men in the basement sex room. And there’s nothing wrong with that, is there?
 
Not even the police knew about these little secrets until her lawyer informed his Police Commissioner grandfather with three thick files full of photographs and legal documents spilling all of his private business, and now they’re forcing him to obey their rules.
 
Except he knows quite a few things about her, and even more about his family, and none of them would want any of it made public, so he threatens to tell all while formulating a plan for devastating revenge upon them and her.
 
One family member at a time…

        The Singularity—the looming point of no return when Artificial Intelligence surpasses human cognitive abilities, with consequences no one can foresee, and only a handful of people understand. 
     
        Rusty Mullins, ex-Secret Service, has never heard of the Singularity. He only knows that after the deadly challenges of his last job for security firm Prime Protection, he swore he'd stop risking his life on assignments. Then his good friend Ted Lewison, head of Prime Protection, asks him back for a routine mission guarding Chinese scientist Dr. Lisa Li and her seven-year-old nephew, Peter, and Mullins agrees. 
     
        The conference on AI bringing Dr. Li to Washington, DC, is barely under way when a team of assassins storms the room. The carnage is great but Mullins saves Dr. Li and Peter while the attackers kill the two other AI experts, along with Lewison. 
     
        His widow begs Mullins to uncover the power behind the group claiming credit for the assassinations. Is "Double H" homegrown, or part of a larger international conspiracy? Enter eccentric tech billionaire Robert Brentwood who requests Mullins continue to guard Dr. Li and Peter. Brentwood seeks the Singularity and believes Dr. Li holds the key. Mullins agrees in exchange for running his investigation through Brentwood's extraordinary computer resources. 
     
        The quest leads him on an unexpected path from Naval Intelligence and the Oval Office to a secret research lab in the North Carolina mountains. No one can be trusted-the race for the Singularity is a global winner-takes-all contest. 
     
        Yet, terrifyingly, a machine with capacity exceeding human intelligence can outstrip all controls while possessing no moral or ethical brakes. As the AI stakeholders go all out, Mullins must face his own singularity—the point of no return—when not just he but his family and Dr. Li's will become casualties in what amounts to war.

    After a terrible defeat in Key West, where the subject of Jesse McDermitt’s identity fraud investigation gets away, and which almost costs him dearly, Jesse returns home to his island in the Content Keys, determined to keep those he loves safe from harm. 
    He makes plans to fly his family and friends to the Leeward Islands for a very special occasion, unaware of events taking place on one small uninhabited island located a short distance from his destination—events that will suck him right back into the fray, as a past nemesis rears their head. 
    Gold will turn even the most docile into greedy, dangerous people. When the question of rightful ownership is brought up, legal professionals and government officials on the island, as well as those from France argue over a treasure estimated to be worth $20,000,000. But what is the price of one human life. 
    The simple life isn’t what it’s cracked up to be, and danger abounds in the picturesque city of Gustavia, on the French island of St. Barts, and speeding Mini Mokes on steep mountain roads isn’t the cause.

    Too many people loved Kelly Rowland. One of them killed her, but was it the man in prison for her murder?
    'A thrilling finale'Crime Review
    'A clever, witty plot... a delight to read'Times
    Gethin Grey is back in the game. His wife may have left him and he's struggling with life as a single father, but now he's got his biggest case in years.
    The brutal murder of a young woman called Kelly Rowland has been the talk of the South Wales valleys. Even the conviction of a neighbour failed to stop the gossip.
    There were too many other suspects still around, among them a pair of coppers: brother and sister.
    So Gethin was delighted when Morgan's family stumped up the money to pay him and his Last Resort Legals team to reinvestigate the case.
    But when a new lead takes him undercover into a support group for recovering addicts, Gethin has to confront his own demons.
    Moving from the former mining towns of the valleys to the shiny new waterfront developments of Cardiff, taking in adult puppet shows and piercing parlors, derelict mines and country clubs, Grey In The Dark lays bare a world in which sex and money collide and everyone has their secrets.
