Tainted Lie

Ariel is having a bad week. Not only is she hiding from one of the biggest crime empires Chicago has ever seen, she's also fighting for custody of her little brother. Her new neighbor should be the last thing on her mind, no matter how much she's drawn to him. Especially since neither of them is who they pretend to be. When his family sends Jude Olysses to do a job, they know he's going to get it done using whatever means necessary. His skills are unmatched, his family the only thing he cares about. Until he meets his new neighbor, Ariel, who makes him want things he never thought he could have. Too bad he was sent to kill her. This is the third book in the Tainted Kings series. Each book can be read as a standalone, but there are story elements that weave through each book, so they are best enjoyed read in order. Note from the author: My characters like to get it on and sometimes swear. Every book has a HEA and there's no cheating. This book was originally published under the title Jude.
