Which is stronger: blood ties or a battle-tested friendship?
It’s not easy being queen bee of an underworld abuzz with crooks and
killers. Wielding my potent Ice and Stone elemental magic will only get
me so far—my real secret is my tight-knit makeshift family, a motley
crew of cops and criminals, dwarves and playboys. My foster brother
Finnegan Lane is my right-hand man, but when his suddenly not-dead
relative comes back into the picture, I’m the one on the outside looking
in.
It’s funny how life works: one minute your best friend is
rock-steady, and the next he’s doe-eyed and buying into this whole
loving-relative routine to the point of ignoring you. I’d like to be
happy for Finn, I really would. But all of my instincts are telling me
that beneath the syrupy sweet demeanor and old-fashioned charm, this
sudden interloper is planning something. The whole shtick leaves a
bitter taste in my mouth. This person might have avoided the grave once,
but I’ll put anyone who hurts Finn in the ground—for good.

Keep your friends close but your enemies within stabbing distance.
One important lesson I’ve learned in the assassination business is
that to be the best you have to roll with the punches. Now that I’m
queen of Ashland’s underworld—by default, not by choice—a lot more
punches are being thrown my way. But I suppose that’s the price of
victory for taking down some of the underworld’s top dogs. Good thing I
have my Ice and Stone magic to help me survive my volatile new position.
Just when I think things are finally settling down, someone tries to
murder me during a hush-hush underworld meeting. But the real surprise
is how strangely familiar my shadowy assailant seems to be.
My job is to maintain order among killers, crooks, and thieves, and
soon I’m embroiled in a bloody game where the ability to keep secrets
could be the greatest superpower of all. My enemies have all sharpened
their knives and laid their traps, waiting for me to fall. But this
Spider weaves her own webs of death…

There’s nothing worse than a cruel, cunning enemy with time to kill—and my murder to plan.
With wicked Fire elemental Mab Monroe long gone, you’d think I could
finally catch a break. But someone’s always trying to take me down,
either as Gin Blanco or my assassin alter-ago. Now along comes the
Spider’s new arch-nemesis, the mysteriously named M. M. Monroe, who is
gleefully working overtime to trap me in a sticky web of deceit.
The thing is, I’m not the only target. I can see through the tangled
threads enough to know that every bit of bad luck my friends have been
having lately is no accident—and that each unfortunate “coincidence” is
just one more arrow drawing ever closer to hitting the real bulls-eye.
Though new to Ashland, this M. M. Monroe is no stranger to irony, trying
to get me, an assassin, framed for murder. Yet, as my enemy’s master
plan is slowly revealed, I have a sinking feeling that it will take more
than my powerful Ice and Stone magic to stop my whole life from going
up in flames.

Most people shy away from
blood, but for an assassin like me— Gin Blanco, aka the Spider—it’s just
part of the job. Still, it would be nice to get a night off, especially
when I’m attending the biggest gala event of the summer at Briartop,
Ashland’s fanciest art museum. But it’s just not meant to be. For this
exhibition of my late nemesis’s priceless possessions is not only the place
to be seen, but the place to be robbed and taken hostage at gunpoint as
well. No sooner did I get my champagne than a bunch of the unluckiest
thieves ever burst into the museum and started looting the place.
Unlucky why? Because I brought along a couple of knives in addition
to my killer dress. Add these to my Ice and Stone magic, and nothing
makes me happier than showing the bad guys why red really is my color.

Old habits die hard. And I plan on murdering someone before the night is through.
Killing used to be my regular gig, after all. Gin Blanco, aka the
Spider, assassin-for-hire. And I was very good at it. Now, I’m ready to
make the one hit that truly matters: Mab Monroe, the dangerous Fire
elemental who murdered my family when I was thirteen.
Oh, I don’t think the mission will be easy, but turns out it’s a bit
more problematic than expected. The bitch knows I’m coming for her.
So now I’m up against the army of lethal bounty hunters she hired to
track me down. She also put a price on my baby sister’s head. Keeping
Bria safe is my first priority. Taking Mab out is a close second.
Good thing I’ve got my powerful Stone and Ice magic — and my
irresistible lover Owen Grayson — to watch my back. This battle has
been years in the making, and there’s a chance I won’t survive. But if
I’m going down, then Mab’s coming with me…no matter what I have to do
to make that happen.

I’d rather face a dozen lethal assassins any night than deal with something as tricky, convoluted, and fragile as my feelings.
But here I am. Gin Blanco, the semi-retired assassin known as the
Spider. Hovering outside sexy businessman Owen Grayson’s front door like
a nervous teenage girl. One thing I like about Owen: he doesn’t shy
away from my past—or my present. And right now I have a bull’s-eye on my
forehead.
Cold-blooded Fire elemental Mab Monroe has hired one of the smartest
assassins in the business to trap me. Elektra LaFleur is skilled and
efficient, with deadly electrical elemental magic as potent as my own
Ice and Stone powers. Which means there’s a fifty-fifty chance one of us
won’t survive this battle. I intend to kill LaFleur—or die
trying—because Mab wants the assassin to take out my baby sister,
Detective Bria Coolidge, too.
The only problem is, Bria has no idea I’m her long-lost sibling . . .
or that I’m the murderer she’s been chasing through Ashland for weeks.
And what Bria doesn’t know just might get us both dead. . . .

What kind of assassin works pro bono?
It’s hard to be a badass assassin when a giant is beating the crap
out of you. Luckily, I never let pride get in the way of my work. My
current mission is personal: annihilate Mab Monroe, the Fire elemental
who murdered my family. Which means protecting my identity, even if I
have to conceal my powerful Stone and Ice magic when I need it most.
To the public, I’m Gin Blanco, owner of Ashland’s best barbecue
joint. To my friends, I’m the Spider, retired assassin. I still do
favors on the side. Like ridding a vampire friend of her oversized
stalker—Mab’s right-hand goon who almost got me dead with his massive
fists.
At least irresistible Owen Grayson is on my side. The man knows too
much about me, but I’ll take my chances. Then there’s Detective Bria
Coolidge, one of Ashland’s finest. Until recently, I thought my baby
sister was dead. She probably thinks the same about me. Little does she
know, I’m a cold-blooded killer . . . who is about to save her life.

Curiosity is definitely going to get me dead one of these days. Probably real soon.
I’m Gin Blanco.
You might know me as the Spider, the most feared assassin in the
South. I’m retired now, but trouble still has a way of finding me. Like
the other day when two punks tried to rob my popular barbecue joint, the
Pork Pit. Then there was the barrage of gunfire on the restaurant.
Only, for once, those kill shots weren’t aimed at me. They were meant
for Violet Fox. Ever since I agreed to help Violet and her grandfather
protect their property from an evil coalmining tycoon, I’m beginning to
wonder if I’m really retired. So is Detective Donovan Caine. The only
honest cop in Ashland is having a real hard time reconciling his
attraction to me with his Boy Scout mentality. And I can barely keep my
hands off his sexy body. What can I say? I’m a Stone elemental with a
little Ice magic thrown in, but my heart isn’t made of solid rock.
Luckily, Gin Blanco always gets her man . . . dead or alive.

My name is Gin, and I kill people.
They call me the Spider. I’m the most feared assassin in the South —
when I’m not busy at the Pork Pit cooking up the best barbecue in
Ashland. As a Stone elemental, I can hear everything from the whispers
of the gravel beneath my feet to the vibrations of the soaring
Appalachian Mountains above me. My Ice magic also comes in handy for
making the occasional knife. But I don’t use my powers on the job unless
I absolutely have to. Call it professional pride.
Now that a ruthless Air elemental has double-crossed me and killed my
handler, I’m out for revenge. And I’ll exterminate anyone who gets in
my way — good or bad. I may look hot, but I’m still one of the bad guys.
Which is why I’m in trouble, since irresistibly rugged Detective
Donovan Caine has agreed to help me. The last thing this coldhearted
killer needs when I’m battling a magic more powerful than my own is a
sexy distraction… especially when Donovan wants me dead just as much as
the enemy.

or to pursue a fully human life has become the thread from which the
fates of two tribes hangs.
Now that Bella has made her decision, a startling chain of
unprecedented events is about to unfold with potentially devastating and
unfathomable, consequences. Just when the frayed strands of Bella’s
