The Cost of Vices

Magic. Vengeance. Blackmail. Betrayal.

Vesper is an assassin with impressive control over her Energy magic, a penchant for whores, and a jealous ex that she just can't seem to get rid of. Although, being trapped in a work contract with said ex isn't always the worst, that doesn't stop her from trying to find a way out.

Bellamy has a gambling problem that has landed her in more trouble than she can handle, but she is confident that she can fix her mistakes and get her ex back. As long as no one can take Vesper away from her, and a certain red-head keeps her hands to herself, everything will be just fine.

Until one of their assignments goes horribly wrong.

Now, they find themselves on the run, having to face their demons as dangerous secrets come to light. Marked for death by their employer, hidden away and trying to unravel the disaster that their life has become, will they be able to put the past behind them, or will their infighting lead to their demise?

Rowan Aberdeen is head of security at Raven Wood Psychiatric Facility. She's used to dealing with the dangerous and mentally unstable. Receiving patients from the penitentiary in town is a run of the mill process. Standard procedure. Until one miraculous plea of insanity and Delilah Watson—the deadliest serial killer their facility has ever known—is transferred and placed under Rowan's direct supervision.

Within days, one glaring fact of Rowan's new situation becomes clear: Delilah has fixated on her. Rowan's sole focus now revolves around controlling Delilah's obsession and manipulating it to her advantage. Especially when it becomes clear that Delilah is used to getting what she wants. And she will stop at nothing to get Rowan.
