Title: Come (Dirty, Dark, & Deadly #1)
Author: JA Huss
Genre: Erotic Suspense
Release Date: June 25, 2014
Synopsis
My name is James Fenici and you will never see me coming. I walk the shadows like darkness itself. I hide in the corners where nobody looks. I live by no rules, I have no boundaries, I take no prisoners, and I never, ever blink. I am not your knight in shining armor; I’m your worst nightmare.
My name is James Fenici and you are my target. Only one of us is getting out alive, and that’s not gonna be you. Once your name is on my list, your life is over. It’s a deal I make with death, it’s a contract I sign in blood, it’s forgone conclusion—get used to it.
My name is James Fenici and I’m as dirty as they come. But then one day I saw her. And every monster I thought I was. Every fact I thought I knew. Every dirty promise I ever turned down came back to slap me in the face.
My name is James Fenici and I think I am in love.
Excerpt:
“Do you want my real name?
My associate name? Or my fake name?”
“Real name.”
“James Fenici.”
“James,” I repeat in a
whisper. “I like James.”
“I like Harper.”
“How old are you?”
“Twenty-eight.”
“I’m only eighteen.”
“I know.”
He knows. Hmmm. But the look
on his face as my age hangs between us captures my full attention. “Does it
bother you?” He waits a few heartbeats before answering and this is my clue
that yes, it does bother him. “It doesn’t bother me,” I add.
Fingertips guide my chin so
my head turns towards him and then his mouth is on mine, his tongue probing,
asking me to open, I do open. And this time I touch my tongue to his. He flicks
against it and it feels… so good.
He ends the kiss and stands
up, holding me in his arms for a moment before setting me down. “It doesn’t
bother me either, but you’re tired. So I’ll walk you home.”

Title: Come (Dirty, Dark, And Deadly #2)
Author: JA Huss
Genre: Erotic Suspense
Release Date: July 21, 2014
Synopsis
“Secrets keep the darkness alive,” Harper tells me. But that’s not how I see it at all. Secrets keep me alive. The truth is overrated. Honesty is never the best policy. And everything you know absolutely can hurt you.
The contracts I fulfill are just agreements. Death is a business deal. Secrets are currency in my world. I pay my debts with them. I feed on them. They ground me in the present and they promise me a future. I’ve lived a life filled with secrets for so long—I forgot what it’s like to… feel.
Until I saw Harper. Until I saw how beautiful she’s become. How perfect, and pure, and innocent of all the ugly that goes on around her. And that dirty promise I refused the night her father turned me into a killer twelve years ago is suddenly on the table again.
Harper can be mine. No—Harper will be mine. All I have to do is complete the mission.
Death is a business deal.
And I just shook his hand.
Excerpt:
“I think I know why he
didn’t kill Merc.”
“Why?” Harper asks quickly,
turning around to see Sasha.
“Because Merc is gonna kill
him.”
“That’s fucking it!” I
swerve the Hummer over to the almost non-existent shoulder, and slam on the
breaks. “You shut your fucking mouth, kid!
Or I swear to fucking God, I’ll—”
“You’ll what?” Harper asks,
her eyebrows raised up to the ceiling. “She’s got legitimate questions, James.
And to be honest, I’m interested in the answers. Who was the guy who took her?
And why was he sending me messages?”
“Harper, use your fucking
brain. Why do you think he was sending you messages?”
“Why? If he knew where to
find me, then why didn’t he just take me? Why play this game? I’m sure my
father has a reward out. Or a hit.”
“Oh, is that where we’re at
again? You think I’m here to kill you? Did you know the smurf is an assassin
too? Or did you not put that two plus two together yet?”
“Don’t insult me, Tet. I
figured that out, thanks.”
“Then maybe you’re her
target and not mine? How about that?”
“So why hasn’t she killed
me?”
“I haven’t killed you
either, but you still think that’s my job. And while we’re all playing let’s
confess to shit we’re not doing, what’s your job, Harper? Who the fuck are
you and your brother after?”
“Oh, snap!” Sasha says
loudly.
“Shut up!” Harp and I yell
together.
“She’s playing us, you do
realize that, right? I mean, you can see that now, right? She’s egging us on,
making us fight.”
“I’m just trying to tell you
something,” Sasha squeals. “Something you don’t know but I do. And you know
what? Forget it. You don’t deserve my help if you’re gonna treat me like a traitor!
I was kidnapped for her!” She shoves Harper on the shoulder and Harp reacts and
slaps her hand off, turning around like she’s gonna dive back there and start a
real fight.
“Sit back, Harper.” I growl
as I yank her by the arm and push her against the door. I pull back onto the
road before one of these girls decides to get out of the car. I am not in the
mood to chase them down in this heat.
“I don’t want to travel with
you anymore,” Harper says as she crosses her arms and turns her back to me.
“I’m leaving when we get back to civilization.”
“I’m leaving too. I’d rather
die than go back to Merc. I’ll find Ford on my own.”
Called that one.
