In this sizzling, high-octane new series, the national bestselling author and urban lit superstar brings back the unforgettable Kira from her gritty bestselling Wifey novels. Now, from drug king pin’s wife to streetwise widow and back again, along with all the danger and sexy action in between, Kira’s back on the come up. And the stakes, the deceptions, and the body count are rising…
With Kira’s drug kingpin fiancé and sexy protector, Dylan, behind bars thanks to her influential father, Kira’s feeling the heat of one too many bodies being dropped on the way to raking in her fortune. But she’s not done paying the price yet . . .
One of the casualties of Kira’s high-end scheming was a judge friend of her father’s. Now a homicide detective is after her—and Dylan’s most brutal rival is determined to see Kira nailed for murder. Dylan’s right-hand man may be in on the game too. Worst of all, Kira’s father plans to testify against Dylan.
Feeling cornered on all sides, Kira agrees to a nuclear option: take her father out. But the cold-blooded move she thinks will end her problems may just multiply them. And her new beginning may bring her to the vicious end of a very deadly line.
Praise for KiKi Swinson
“Pitch-perfect dialogue, juicy sexual trysts, cold-blooded betrayal, and ruthless violence mark this suspenseful fast-moving tale that is topped off by a shocking epilogue.” —Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW on The Score
“Swinson delivers another strong, fully dimensional lead character in Misty, who begins as an ordinary career woman and ends up in even deeper trouble with each wrong choice.” —Booklist on The Black Market
“National bestselling author Swinson is back, with a new novel packed with suspense, intrigue, and brutally memorable characters, all portrayed through the lens of gritty Southern life. You’ll keep flipping pages to see how the story’s heroine faces a succession of harrowing adventures as she fights desperately to keep herself, and those she loves, alive.” —The Grio on The Safe House
“Edgy street action with an extra dose of suspense…For MadameNoire loyalists with an addiction to street stories, Kiki Swinson’s latest book is a strong follow-up to her much talked about novel, The Score. Kiki Swinson has raised the bar with The Mark, not only because of the cat and mouse theme that sits between the pages but also because of the ocean-deep suspense that runs all through it.” —MadameNoire
“From one of the most prolific and respected voices in urban fiction…You’ll tear through this vivid and pulse-pounding journey of a young woman on the run, who will do whatever she can to save her life—and protect those she loves.” —CrimeReads on The Safe House
“Breathless suspense explodes on practically every page, highlighted by scenes of violence and merciless, execution-style murders. Lauren comes off as something of Superwoman who performs feats of strength two days after giving birth, but that just adds to the page-turning appeal. Swinson’s name will generate strong interest.” —Library Journal on The Mark
