Seksualus skyrybų advokatas Džekas Latamas yra tiesiog nepakartojamas teismo salėje. Be to, nevengia vienadienių romanų, bent jau iki tos akimirkos, kai ypač svarbią bylą jam tenka nagrinėti kartu su Melori Sinkler, advokatų kontoros ledo karaliene.

Jau ne vienus metus šios teisininkės profesionalumas žavi kolegas. Ir niekas net neįtaria, kad Melori turi paslapčių. Silpnumo akimirkomis išdidi karjeristė svajoja apie Džeką. Tačiau privalo tai slėpti, nes darbas – svarbiau.

Review

"Prolific author Archer (the Hellraisers series) opens the Nemesis, Unlimited series, set in the grimy underbelly of 1886 London, with unforgettable characters whose connection sizzles. This bold mix of an unlikely romance, a gritty setting, and a page-turning thriller will leave readers craving more."—Publisher's Weekly (Starred Review!)

Samantha Sweet is about to realize her dream of opening her pastry shop, Sweet's Sweets. Juggling the crazy amount of work to get her new business off the ground, with her old job of breaking into houses, she's got her hands full. When a blood-soaked garment is found among the discards at one of her properties, and a friend makes a shocking confession, Sam finds herself pulled into a pair of mysteries.

The wooden box that came into her possession (in Sweet Masterpiece) is still working its magic, giving Sam the power to see inside people's secrets and figure out who the killer is.

From the Author

Think what fun it would be to have all the desserts you can imagine, just sitting right there in front of you. That's how much fun I had in writing this story in which Samantha realizes her dream of opening her own pastry shop. For every new customer who walked in the door, I had the luxury of dreaming up something special.

In the sleepy rural town of Painters Mill, Ohio, the Amish and “English” residents have lived side by side for two centuries. But sixteen years ago, a series of brutal murders shattered the peaceful farming community. In the aftermath of the violence, the town was left with a sense of fragility, a loss of innocence. Kate Burkholder, a young Amish girl, survived the terror of the Slaughterhouse Killer but came away from its brutality with the realization that she no longer belonged with the Amish. Now, a wealth of experience later, Kate has been asked to return to Painters Mill as Chief of Police. Her Amish roots and big city law enforcement background make her the perfect candidate. She’s certain she’s come to terms with her past—until the first body is discovered in a snowy field. Kate vows to stop the killer before he strikes again. But to do so, she must betray both her family and her Amish past—and expose a dark secret that could destroy her.
