Hitting the Wall by Cate C. Wells

Their perfect golden boy maybe wasn’t so perfect after all. Then life hands me one too many lemons. I’m forced to go back, and in Stonecut, nothing ever changes. Kellum Wall is still golden. I’m still unwanted. And falling for his cocksure smile will most certainly ruin my life all over again. Kellum

The Deck of Omens by Christine Lynn Herman

The Deck of Omens by Christine Lynn Herman

I’ll become the paper-pushing insurance salesman next door and earn her trust. Make her my wife. She’ll never find out she’s married to a hitman. She’ll never know I spend my days following her. Watching and listening. Obsessing over her happiness to the point of madness. She’ll never find out. Or will she?
