Every king needs a queen …
My job was to find a wife, one malleable and well-trained, to protect my empire and keep the rules of La Cosa Nostra from ruining what I built and stealing my chance to destroy those who hurt my family. Infidelity had failed me; after two agreements, I had nothing to show for it.
Angry and pushed to my limit, I cruised for a body to accept my sort of release. She was knock-kneed, sickly, and dirty, but her eyes cut through me. Her words were foul and her nails brittle, but she understood my needs better than I did. And when I had a chance to end her, she rose from the ashes like a phoenix, and I could do nothing but let her live. I needed to give her the world, one bloody body at a time.
She sold herself to save her son, and I bought them both to save myself.

It’s NOT safe to go back in the water…
After a promise gone horribly wrong, Gideon Black has
sworn off doing favors for people. But when the mysterious Lady Tethys offers
him a house -- a home of his own for the first time in his life -- in exchange
for retrieving an artifact, he agrees.
Unfortunately, the artifact is at the bottom of the
Atlantic Ocean, with a ship that went down over four hundred years ago.
To get to the wreck, Tethys arranges passage for Gideon
and his friends with Captain Alex Walsh. But when they board the ship, they
find that the crew not only know about and distrust Others, but are prepared to
deal with them with cold iron weapons, one of the few ways to kill a Fae. And
the captain is looking for an excuse to use them.
Then they reach the dive site, and things go from bad
to worse when the ship is attacked by something far more dangerous than humans
with cold iron.
