Book Description
His cage set me free. All I've ever wanted is freedom. From my parents. From my inevitable future. From him. But when Vincent took me captive, he showed me the truth: what it means to crush every restraint, to crave pain, to surrender to desire. Now, Vincent hates me. After what happened, I don't blame him. He's obsessed with destroying me until I'm nothing but ashes. But then everything changes. A killer is hunting people like me. Vincent gives me a gun and warns me that I must be ready to use it. Who is my greatest danger? A killer, or the man I love? Author's Note: Innocence & Ashes is the second book in The Art of Ruin Duet. The story continues from the first book, finishes with a happily-ever-after, and features dark and uncomfortable themes. If you are easily disturbed, do not read this book.

When Peter pulls strings, Special Agent John Quinn gets assigned to the case. But the FBI’s ace profiler of serial killers is the last person Kate wants to work with, not with their troubled history.

For she’s the only woman who has what it takes to stop the killer . . . and the one woman he wants next. “You’ll want to lock the doors while you’re reading.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune “An up-all-night read.”—The Detroit News

Book Description
Curiosity transforms into carnal obsession; my little lamb knows she's being hunted. I've been analyzing Melissa. Studying her. Obsessing over her every move. She framed me for a murder that, for once, I didn't commit; she did. Melissa was simply defending her friend, but that doesn't matter. I hunt abusive monsters, those who think they're untouchable. Who would I be if I don't teach Melissa exactly why I punish? I'll return the favor, pinning all of my murders on her, or I'll kill her. But she is such a curious little creature. She stares into my mask, but she doesn't see danger: she sees freedom. We both understand primal lust for what it truly is. But my love is brutal. I control. I take. I'll force her into submission. Melissa will learn that desire wins over life every time. Author's Note: Shattered is a full-length standalone book in the dark romance series, The Dahlia District. It is a dominant villain and submissive anti-heroine romance, and contains dark and edgy content. Reader discretion is advised.

Book Description
In this powerful and culminating work about a group of inner-city children he has known for many years, Jonathan Kozol returns to the scene of his previous prize-winning books, and to the children he has vividly portrayed, to share with us their fascinating journeys and unexpected victories as they grow into adulthood. For nearly fifty years, Jonathan has pricked the conscience of his readers by laying bare the savage inequalities inflicted upon children for no reason but the accident of being born to poverty within a wealthy nation. But never has his intimate acquaintance with his subjects been more apparent, or more stirring, than in Fire in the Ashes, as Jonathan tells the stories of young men and women who have come of age in one of the most destitute communities of the United States. Some of them never do recover from the battering they undergo in their early years, but many more battle back with fierce and often jubilant determination to overcome the formidable obstacles they face. As we watch these glorious children grow into the fullness of a healthy and contributive maturity, they ignite a flame of hope, not only for themselves but also for our society.
