Black Promises — C.J. Thomas

It was a race against the clock. And our time was nearly up. Investigative reporter, Sylvia Neil, was out for revenge. She'd fooled me once, but couldn't fool me twice. Someone had me in their crosshairs and when Kelly and Giselle discovered a kill list inside Sylvia's apartment, I was terrified I would be the next to die. Kelly Black promised to keep me safe. Except with Madam's business escalating, the stakes were higher and this was a declaration of war. Alliances were being formed. Family secrets would be revealed. Nothing was as it seemed. But in the end, the only truth I cared to know was if Kelly loved me enough to sacrifice it all.
