Barristers & Bones

A hot, morally gray mentor who detests me. A sprawling funeral home. Torture, mayhem, and a Las Vegas wedding I don’t remember.

I need to complete an internship to graduate, but when my counselor pairs me with the cold, starkly handsome mentor from hell who looks at me with deep loathing in his eyes and a wicked scar on his neck, staying alive might take priority over graduating. Roman Fowler is one of the infamous partners at the most notorious law firm in Las Vegas. He’s also harboring deadly secrets and looking for revenge. 

But I’m not helpless anymore. When my corrupt parents abandoned me as a child, a family stepped in to save me–and not just any family. The House of Spades, a powerful, violent, strangely close-knit clan, enfolds me in their ranks and makes me one of theirs. And they have a peculiar, hands-on, DIY approach to life’s little problems. They’re still deciding if Roman is a problem when a new menace threatens me.

Can Roman and I fight through the danger and dark secrets of our pasts? Or will the monsters win for good this time?
