Lust

Lies among friends...

Liza Lazarus's devotion to the law is only eclipsed by her loyalty to her vigilante family. The tough, no holds barred, city detective, crushes it on the outside, but on the inside, she's losing a battle for her sanity and heart. Sensing lust makes her physically sick. It's great for catching rapists and murderers, but for finding love? Impossible. Then a childhood friend comes crashing back into her life, and she finds the impossible isn't so out of reach... if they can get past decades worth of lies between them.

Love among enemies...

FBI Special Agent Joe Luciano has been in love with Liza since they were kids. The kind of soul-wrenching, heart-clobbering love that can send a man insane... except she only ever saw him as a friend. When a secret investigation brings him right into the Lazarus family warzone, he learns they're not as virtuous as he once believed. They're the very criminals he's been hunting. The more embroiled he becomes with Liza and her vigilante family, the more his black and white world crumbles until he's forced to make an impossible choice... Arrest her, or love her.

Betrayal among family...

As a child, Despair Lazarus was forsaken by her family, and left to the mercy of the evil Syndicate. She became a brutal, heartless warrior, and the Lazarus family never forgave themselves. So when she finally comes knocking at their door, they welcome her with open arms, blind to the danger they've invited into their midst. With the Syndicate, old enemies, and the FBI closing in on her family's secrets, Liza must learn to control her new deadly powers and piece together where the real danger lies... with her lover, her long-lost sister, or herself.
