International assassin Gideon spilled blood for the first time when he was seven years old, with a single shot to the head of a man who was attempting to kill the woman Gideon had known as his mother. The victim was none other than his own father, a man of unspeakable evil. This pivotal event shaped Gideon throughout his life, made him who he is, one of the fiercest, most feared hired guns in the world. And one of the most hunted.
After nearly losing his life in Antigua during a mission that went terribly wrong, Gideon trusts no one. But when a former lover and grifter, Arizona, resurfaces in need of his skills, she reminds him he was indebted to a man who had once saved his life: the son of the legendary con-man Scamz. Gideon is forced to take on an assignment which will lead him to Argentina in pursuit of a briefcase containing one part of a larger puzzle. The "package" contains material that another group of assassins – the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse – will kill to obtain and protect. One of the leaders of the Four Horsemen has a connection to Gideon that neither man is aware of -- a connection that will be exposed when they meet face-to-face and gun-to-gun. Each member of The Four Horsemen is a world-class killer, each with a dark and dangerous past, and nothing will stop that team of renegades from completing their mission.

God Ain't Blind by Mary Monroe
Annette Goode Davis is a survivor, and while life's obstacles have often knocked her down, she's never let them keep her there for long. To Annette, life is all about family and old friends like Rhoda O'Toole. And right now, Annette needs all the friends she can get…because her marriage is in big trouble, and she has no idea why…
Lately, her husband Pee Wee barely has the time of day for Annette and she suspects he may have fallen for another woman. Desperate to regain his affections, Annette goes on a crash diet, gets a total makeover, and looks hotter than she has for a long, long time. Everyone notices—everyone except Pee Wee.

Alibi by Teri Woods
Lance, Nard, and Jeremy think they've found the perfect opportunity-the chance to rob a rival drug dealer without getting caught. The plan was simple...get in, get the drugs, and get out. Everything was going as planned until something went horribly wrong and someone is killed. The three take off running and just as they are about to make a clean get-away, Nard spots neighboring children hanging out of their apartment window. Not wanting to kill anyone else, they all escape, but now the question is, will the witnesses give up their identity?
Once they make it to safety, they realize that they need to come up with a plan and fast. The first option is death, but they've already killed one too many. Another body would only add more heat to the fire. Not wanting to take any chances, the trio decides to come up with a plausible alibi. If they don't, it could mean life in prison, or death on the streets.
