ACES AND BLOOD
Nicky Marino didn't build the most exclusive club in Bitcoin Vegas by playing nice. He built it by knowing when to pour a drink, when to make a deal, and when to put a bullet in someone who deserved it.
Then a dead man shows up at his door with four aces in his hand.
The murder sets off a chain reaction that drags Nicky through stolen tech, dangerous alliances, and the kind of enemies who send messages written in bruises and blood. His people start getting hurt. His secrets start getting exposed. And somewhere behind all of it is a woman he hasn't seen in fifteen years—a woman who once loved him enough to shoot him and leave him with nothing.
Now she wants him back.
Nicky's going to find out why. Even if it kills him.
Aces and Blood is noir with the safety off.

ACES AND GHOSTS
The Duchess wants Nicky Marino at her side. Her bodyguard. Her insider. Her way back into the city she's been circling like a predator for fifteen years.
Nicky knows it's a trap. He takes the job anyway.
Now he's caught between the woman who once put a bullet in him and the people who might never forgive him for getting close to her. Mack thinks he's lost his mind. Lena thinks he's lost something worse. And the Duchess thinks she's finally got him exactly where she wants him.
She doesn't know what Nicky's carrying in his back pocket. Not yet.
But in Bitcoin Vegas, secrets don't stay buried. They compound—with interest.
