Summary
He’d changed.
The expensive suit and watch were missing. Instead, he wore all black now. A long sleeve shirt, black slacks and black loafers. The black leather gloves were the only thing the same. This fact did nothing to calm my racing heart. Something told me the wardrobe change wasn’t a good sign.
“Oh. You noticed,” Roman Sionis said as he walked closer. “Blood is… difficult to get out of linen, so I like to wear something a little more… forgiving when I’m working. Or playing.”
He stalked up to me and grabbed my chin in an iron grip. Tilting my head this way and that, he hummed.
Then smacked me right across the face.
Right where Dylan had hit me earlier.
My lip split again; the scab ripped away by the casual violence. I cried out and held my freshly throbbing face with both hands. Blood poured out of my mouth and I let it drip onto the floor between my bare feet.
“You know what they say… do what you love and you’ll never really work a day in your life,” he intoned. A grotesque amount of glee in his voice. “You have a part to play now, doll.”
I was really beginning to hate that word.

Summary
Scarlet’s life has always been about control; over her future, her reputation, and most importantly, her secrets. A law student with a promising future, she hides a dangerous past, one that ties her to a world far darker than the academic halls she walks.
Once she reconnects with family friend, Bruce Wayne, a charismatic and mysterious man with connections to Gotham's powerful elite, everything begins to change. Drawn into his orbit, Scarlet is forced to confront the shadows she’s spent years running from. But Bruce is no stranger to the darkness and neither is the city that seems to breathe it.
As Scarlet and Bruce's paths continue to cross, so does the threat of her past coming to light. With every secret she uncovers about Gotham's corrupt world, she realizes how much she is willing to sacrifice to keep her darkest truths hidden. But in a city where everyone wears a mask, trust is a dangerous game, and in the end, Scarlet must decide how much control she’s truly willing to lose.

Summary
The metallic crash didn’t immediately register as real. At first, she thought it was a part of the weather—a particularly vicious gust rattling the old fire escape, or a piece of tin roofing torn loose and flung against her balcony rail. But then came the second sound: a raw, human exhale, sharp and guttural, and unmistakably close. Evelyn blinked, set down her glass, and leaned forward, squinting through the rain-glossed darkness. The fire escape’s upper landing, usually deserted and grimy, now hosted a slumped, broad-shouldered shape wedged awkwardly against the railing.
(Or, where The Dark Knight crash lands on a random woman's fire escape)

Summary
As far as the public knows, 28-year-old Barbara Gordon is a computer whiz extraordinaire and daughter of Commissioner Gordon. Nothing more, nothing less. Certainly not a masked hero spending her nights swinging across roofs and locking up the worst villains in Gotham. But then why is she targeted in a brutal kidnapping by masked men who want to do nothing but hurt her, and then vanish into thin air? Even the world’s greatest detective needs time to solve this mystery and lock away these dangerous new players in the Gotham underworld. Meanwhile, despite her rescue, Barbara is still at risk. She’s sent into Batman’s twisted version of witness protection with none other than the morally grey crime lord and temporary ally of the Dark Knight, the Red Hood. Barbara is wary that Red Hood is no better than her kidnappers. She tells herself he doesn’t know about her hidden identity – and that she’s perfectly capable of protecting herself. But when Barbara feels drawn to this anti-hero with a mysterious origin story in a way she can't explain, what if the real threat is something she never could have seen coming?
