About this listen
My name is Rachel Valentine.
My brother is the leader of the Two-Headed Dragon, a vicious new mafia clan in the city of Chicago. He is out for vengeance against the leader of our crime syndicate: Jaxon Pace. The man who also happens to be the father of my child.
I used to want vengeance too. Why? Well, because I got sick of Jaxon’s whoring and did what any resourceful and royally pissed off woman would do: faked my own death. For the last seven years, I have been in hiding. And wouldn’t you know, Jaxon Pace met someone. Some golden-haired princess, who stole his heart and was finally able to bring the big bad Don Supreme to heel.
F--king nauseating, right?
But before you start weeping for me, you should know I’ve met someone too. FBI Agent Adam Westwood. Tall, handsome, brave… and deliciously fractured. Just like me. Only problem is, he didn’t exactly tell me he was an undercover FBI agent, and I didn’t exactly tell him who I really am… or who my brother is.
However, two nights ago, all our secrets came out, and now Adam and I must sort through all the lies we’ve told each other… to determine if any of it was real.
A lot of people think they know me. Most of them are wrong. I’m complicated, and so is my story. But all you really need to know, is that I was never going to be anyone’s princess.
So, I became the VILLIAN.
Author Note: This is a companion novel to the Heart of the Inferno Series. While you do not have to have read HOTI to enjoy Lies in the Dark, it will increase the listener experience as LITD is set in the middle of Flash Point (Book III).

I don't mess around with stuff that overcomplicates my life. I love my career, and I love my family. Love itself, however, is overrated. It’s only ever let me down, and brought me pain and misery. But love isn’t the same as lust, and when it came to spending a night with the very handsome Staff Sergeant Powell, I said yes.

Story
We were always told as children that monsters are the things that go bump in the night, but they were wrong. Monsters are often the ones that warm your bed, poison dripping from their teeth and claws, embedding in your skin. I hunt them. I end them. Without hesitation. But…then I hesitated. I stumbled straight into the monster’s den, the biggest and baddest of them all. The king of New York. Roman Antonov. I fell in love with him, and his demons. And I hate him for it.

With green eyes and an easy smile, Frank McCabe stole me away from the nightmares that awaited me at home. But the son of the Irish Mob would never be mine. I belonged to the Italians. And the moment my mother sold me to the head of the Italian Mafia, I became the one the people of Boston were warned about. The only person more feared than me in our city is the Irish Ghost. When I finally flee my marital prison with my sons and my sister in tow, I unwittingly run straight into the ghost of the Irishman who died in a fiery explosion years ago.

He’s also a football star on track to win the first wide-receiver MVP in league history. Good thing I only date golfers… or I did.

In Fiasco, Kentucky, there is one rule: never fall for a Foxx brother. Any woman who did, ended up dead—or so the rumor goes. Townies call it a curse. But I’ve lived it, and I won’t survive it again. I’m not a cop anymore, but I’ve seen enough danger to know that Laney Young, the beautiful stranger who just showed up in my small town, is running from it. She’s lying about where she came from and what she’s doing here. I don’t want her near my family or the quiet life I’ve made for myself. But my brothers have other plans.

According to the FBI, I was considered a serial murderer after three kills. What do they call me after fifty-two? They call me the Silencer.

An angel crying for help stopped me, and that night, I took three lives for her. Then three turned into eight. Then eight turned into twenty. Twenty turned into twenty-one. Twenty-one turned into twenty-three.

The night of my birthday looked as boring as the rest of my life. Sitting on my own, trying to avoid my insanely gorgeous but horribly mean flatmate, all while waiting for him to leave so I could have a party for one…if you know what I mean. But that was before I almost crashed on the way home, when a big top rolled into town. Before I locked eyes with the hottest guy I’d ever seen swinging a sledgehammer in the rain. Before I read the flyer promoting the once-in-a-lifetime circus. A circus that wasn’t the usual garish carnival…oh, no…this one was most definitely not for children.

Story
When I was ten, I was a naïve, shy girl. A girl who dreamed of sunsets and roller skates. Until my grandparents died. Then I found myself alone in the world. One bad thing after another seemed to find me but I dealt. I dealt because a man with a black leather jacket and ink from head to toe, told me how to survive this world. He told me that, sometimes, you have to get mean. And so, I embraced my mean. I hated it at first but as time went on, being mean became second nature.

When bodies with an eerily similar MO show up in Philadelphia, he volunteers to assist with the case.

Agent Leda Bailey has had a bad week. She has three dead women and no trail to follow. The clues don't add up, and nothing makes sense.

I ran from him, even though my heart knew better. Love was one thing, but survival another. I should have known he'd come for me. Men like him always get what they want. The temptation in his eyes, the heat of his touch...it's all still there, but his gaze is harsher now and his grasp unrelenting. He's not the boy I fell in love with, although pieces of what we once had are still there. I can feel it. I know what he wants from me, and I know it comes with a steep price. I'll pay it though, if for no other reason than to touch him again.

We were always told as children that monsters are the things that go bump in the night, but they were wrong. Monsters are often the ones that warm your bed, poison dripping from their teeth and claws, embedding in your skin. I hunt them. I end them. Without hesitation. But…then I hesitated. I stumbled straight into the monster’s den, the biggest and baddest of them all. The king of New York. Roman Antonov. I fell in love with him, and his demons. And I hate him for it.

So emotional! Full of Recounted Trauma
STOP! Have you read/listened to Catalyst, Ignite, and Flash Point yet? If not, go read/listen to those BEFORE consuming this novel. It is not a standalone but a companion novel.
• Mafia Princess • FBI Agent • Trauma • Survivors • BDSM • SW • Misunderstood Heroine •
I really wish I would have heeded the author’s note to read through the first three books in this series first, HOWEVER, I’m excited to go back and listen to them now knowing Rachel’s story first. I think it’ll give me a very different perspective reading through the other books and the motives behind her actions in them.
This book is told through the lens of Rachel and Adam coming clean to each other about their darkest secrets and traumas. They met and had a situationship under aliases but were both falling in love with the real versions of each other that were slowly exposed over their time together prior to both learning each other’s true identities.
After all the trauma Rachel endured and living so much of her life on her own or in transactional relationships, Adam and his desire to show Rachel she is deserving of other forms of intimacy is exactly what she needs.
I loved the way the story was told, a little at a time through “memories” but as if they were in realtime, but there are some very traumatic things that happen to both Rachel and Adam that are detailed. Be sure to check trigger warnings.
Angelina and Joe were incredible in this audiobook. The acting was perfect. They played off each other so well and the tension/desire sounded so real. The addition of heavy breathing and breathlessness during the spicy scenes was on point! And the emotional scenes nearly brought me to tears because of the acting. One of Joe’s and Angelina’s best performances.

Blemished. Not Broken.
Honestly, I don't write many reviews but at this point in this series, I feel I must. The whole series has been amazing and emotional, but THIS ONE? Good grief. It had me laughing, crying, angry, and even in the need of a cold shower many times!
To o start, finding out that there is a reason for someone's ugly side, and that the ugly is actually a suit of armor...
Rachel became a very relatable "monster", who maybe wasn't such a monster after all.
And Adam? OK, so maybe I don't hate him quite as much as I thought I did. His story broke me. I can't find sufficient words to describe all the feels that are still clanking around in my brain and heart.
And I haven't even gotten to the narrators yet. IMHO, this was one if Joe's best. He handled the range of emotions like the amazing actor he is. That brings me to Angelina. She was a new female narrator to me, and with this performance, she just quickly shot up the ladder of my favorites list.
Well done Nicole, Joe, Angelina, and Bluenose. This audio was perfect, and enhanced an already amazingly well written book, into an all out emotional experience!

Nicole…ma’am!
This book was amazing!!!!!! This was such a NEEDED addition to the Heart of the Inferno Series…to get Rachel’s side of the story as to why she is the way she is. I loved Rachel and Adam…and the fact that Angelina and Joe narrated this makes it hands down one of the best books I’ve listened to this year! They both own and embody the characters they are performing…this isn’t just reading words on a page folks, this is ACTING and they crushed it!! Bravo you two!!! Nicole…your writing…is just amazing, I truly do not have enough words to express how good it is and how I need all your writing in my life!! Keep writing girl and we will keep gobbling it up!! Blue Nose Production did a phenomenal job putting this all together!!! All the way around everyone deserves a 10/10!!

Wow just WOW!
This book is the first I’ve done of Nicole Fannings and all i have to say is wow just wow! This is an incredible book one of my top reads(listens) of the year, I’m not even sure how i mean that because this book is dark and not for the faint of heart. There were moments i had to take a break from listening because of the depth but when i say it pulls you back in in such a way, it is captivating. You feel so much for these characters. The way it is written with their POVs and past story telling is just perfection!…and onto the narration.. there is no one who can hold a candle to Joe when it comes to telling a story like this, he makes me feel like i am actually watching it live, i felt every single bit of pain these characters go through and Angelina killed this just killed it. There were so many points i forgot there were only two narrators and not 10 because that’s how good they were, truly brought this to life.
Check content warnings, i never do because what can i say, im a content warning enthusiast the more the merrier, butttttt this one like i said it is not for the faint of heart.. i would reccommend 100/10! I found a new favorite author <3

Exceptional Story & Listen~Mesmerizing & Emotional
Nicole Fanning blows me away with another brilliant novel, a companion novel to her amazing “Heart of the Inferno” series, a not to be missed series, which is Jaxon Pace and Natalie’s story. “Lies in the Dark” is Rachel and Adam’s story, who were key players in the other books, and to get the most of the story and the world building it is beneficial to read and/or listen to those books first, you will be happy that you did. I know I was, mainly because I knew where they stood, plus I found them to be intriguing and wanted to know more about them. Rachel is the mother of Jaxon’s daughter, and the firstborn to the Don Supreme. She had been born into a mafia family, but she fled when she was younger and while it was not always easy, she could live her own life. Agent Adam Westwood is an FBI profiler who is on suspension, but that has not stopped him from investigating crimes in the underworld and those connected, including Jaxon Pace and Michael Valentine. Somewhere along the way Rachel and Adam made their own connection and not everything was on the up and up, and now it is time for them to come clean, including how they really feel about other, but before they can do that, they must share truths about themselves and let their skeletons out of the closet. I absolutely loved everything about this book, from the presentation and telling of the story to the writing, world building, as well as the character growth and development. The chemistry between these two is through the roof and smoking hot! This is a such a mesmerizing story, I could tear myself away from it and nothing around me mattered except what was going to happen next. And that ending, oh my! I am looking forward to find out what happens next in this amazing series. Nicole Fanning, thank you for another brilliant story and emotional rollercoaster ride.
🎧 📚🎧 Joe Arden’s and Angelina Rocca’s exceptional narration enhances this already brilliant book to another level. Their portrayal and take on the characters is amazing, their character voices are fitting and they bring out their every emotion in such a way you can not help but feel every single one. Arden’s Adam is perfection, nailing every aspect of his personality, his raw torment, hardened disposition yet able to show his caring side. Rocca did the same as Rachel, rocking her strength, determination, as well as her vulnerable side, which was well hidden behind her facade. These two made a great team, complimenting each other’s performance and their talent knows no bounds. They are entertaining storytellers and a pleasure to listen to. Thank you for another amazing listen.

This book was INSANE!
5/5⭐️ 3/5🌶️ 5/5🎧
Yoooo, this book was WILD! It starts out a bit slow, but it’s intriguing nonetheless. I don’t think I’ve heard read a book quite like this one. It reminded me of that movie Memoirs of a Geisha in the way the recounting of the stories went down.
Two lovers are telling their darkest truths to one another in order to move forward past the lies that have been told. But when they tell each other their stories, it’s as if we’re living it in real time. This book is very VERY dark. So many triggers. So please, I encourage you to check the content warning before reading because this one can definitely mess with mental health. So let’s get into it.
A neglected daughter of a mafia don finds herself in a situationship with an ex fbi agent. So this is like criminal minds meets mafia wars. It’s INSANE! The shit BOTH MCs went through is tragic, things I couldn’t fathom. And when you think it couldn’t get worse, it does.
Joe Arden and Angelina Rocca absolutely killed this duet performance. I haven’t listened to Joe narrate in a while, and I was very quickly reminded why he is the GOAT of the voice acting world. His voice is so versatile that he portrayed every single male character to perfection. From depraved and ruthless characters to sweet and sexy scenes …BRAVO. And Angelina, my god. Her spicy scenes had me 🥵🥵🥵 she and Joe together were explosive. And the raw emotion she brings to the mic…I don’t think this book could have had two better narrators playing those characters.
And that ending. You devil, you. 😈
Read this book. Listen to this book. I’m going back to read the series now because while this was a standalone, it’s better enhanced with the Heart of the Inferno series. I can’t say enough about it. This was my first Nicole Fanning book…consider me a fan girl.

amazing story
This book was amazing. I didn't think I would like Rachel or Adam, to be honest. I hated Rachel in Catalyst up till Flash Point. But with this book. I like her. Everything she went through from childhood up until she left Jaxon was difficult. You understand why she is the way she is.
Adam's story is just as difficult and sad. He lost his kids cuz his wife was high as a kite. But they found each other and he helped heal her.
The performance from Angelina and Joe were just beautiful. They brought out all those emotions and really make you feel it too.
