I've been taking care of myself for as long as I can remember. Kicked out as a teen, I’ve gone from living on the streets to earning money in any way possible. My life has never been easy, but it’s still mine. Now Evan, a mafia enforcer, has taken a liking to me. He thinks he can “save” me. Well, he can fuck right off. I'm never going to be dependent on anyone else ever again. Because if I start to fall for him, if I start to rely on him, it'll hurt even worse when he inevitably decides to dump me just like everybody else does.

I have a secret. I'm gay, and I'm submissive. My family can't ever find out, because if they do, they'll disown me at best. The son of the Winters Gang leader can't be gay... And he definitely can't be in a relationship with Silvano Cresci, the new head of our most hated rival gang. I can't stop thinking about him. I can't stop lusting for him, and the way he made me submit, the way he could get me to the edge with just a few words and touches. I've never met anyone else who could push my buttons so well. But I'm done with him. After he betrayed me, I vowed never to see him ever again.

First published in 1956, The Power Elite stands as a contemporary classic of social science and social criticism. C. Wright Mills examines and critiques the organization of power in the United States, calling attention to three firmly interlocked prongs of power: the military, corporate, and political elite. The Power Elite can be enjoyed as a good account of what was taking place in America at the time it was written, but its underlying question of whether America is as democratic in practice as it is in theory continues to matter very much today.

Brillante Chirurgin. Hingebungsvolle Ehefrau. Mörderin? Bevor meine Welt zusammenbrach, hatte ich alles: Die erfolgreiche Karriere, von der ich immer geträumt hatte. Das schöne Backsteinhaus, in dem ich mich vor dem Kamin entspannen konnte. Den attraktiven, treuen Ehemann, dessen blaue Augen und charmantes Lächeln mir immer ein Gefühl der Sicherheit gaben. Als ich den Todeszeitpunkt nenne, ist meine Stimme ruhig. Meine Kollegen stehen schweigend um mich herum, ihre Blicke auf mich gerichtet, verwirrt, besorgt. Bis heute habe ich noch nie einen Patienten verloren.

The night I gave in to Kallum Locke, I sold my soul to the devil. Now that devil has returned for me, a daemon siphoning off what soul I have left. The Harbinger killer has descended on Hollow’s Row amid an active case, where I’ve been hired as a consultant to profile two killers. One offering gruesome sacrifices to obtain an ancient philosophy, and the other a bad omen from my past. A dark truth hovers at the edge of my memories—but is it real, or a trick by the chaos magician himself, meant to trap me in his web of lies and corruption.

Revenge is a lucrative business, and for a psychopath with zero empathy to inhibit her, it’s more than profitable, it’s how I achieve that elusive adrenaline rush. My life is structured. Controlled. Meticulously tailored to my needs. Then he botches one of my jobs. Alex is intelligent, sexy in an oblivious way. He’s a buttoned-up scientist looking for thrills. And I never saw him coming. His deception was flawless.

Betroet kirurg. Kærlig hustru. Morder? Før min verden styrtede sammen, havde jeg det hele. Den succesfulde karriere, jeg drømte om. Det smukke røde murstenshus, hvor jeg kunne slappe af foran pejsen. Den smukke, hengivne mand, hvis blå øjne og charmerende smil altid fik mig til at føle mig tryg. Da jeg konstaterer dødstidspunktet, er min stemme rolig. Mine kolleger står tavse omkring mig, øjnene rettet mod mig, forvirrede og bekymrede. Jeg har aldrig mistet en patient før i dag. Mine hænder ryster i gummihandskerne. Jeg glider ned ad de kolde flisevægge, mit hjerte hamrer i brystet.
