It’s been a long time since the rider of the white horse has been on Earth, and he looks forward to bringing back the balance, one murder at a time. He has no love for the Heavens, and he has no use for a baby Angel that is weaker even than a mortal, until a sinister plan takes shape in his mind. For as long as Raziel can remember, all of Heaven has shunned him—after all, he’s an Angel without access to his Power. When he’s given a task well beyond his abilities, he finds himself thrown into the path of a Horseman who seems determined to make him question everything he’s ever known. He should be terrified and nothing more, but instead … he feels something for which he doesn’t even have a name. Soon, Conquest and Raziel find themselves standing between Heaven and Hell, the lines between good and evil starting to blur, and loyalties being stretched and twisted. Conquest begins to realize that Raziel may hold the key to the future of Earth, and if Conquest doesn’t keep his Angel close, more than just his heart might be at stake. After millennia of war, will an Angel cast aside by Heaven be the first Horseman’s undoing? Content warnings: Religious themes, extreme violence, gore, and others.

Summary: Wherever August Morrison and Ricardo Torralba go, chaos is sure to follow. The authors certainly know this, since their “standalone book” has now turned into a series with no end in sight, because…UGH. These two. We give up. Anyway. Detective David Chandler had no clue what he was getting into when he and his partner decided they were going to nail August for murder. They didn’t realize it was one of the few murders August didn’t commit, or that their homicide investigation would lead them into the middle of a mob war. Cavalcante underboss Pedro Silva knew asking August and Ricardo for help was a terrible idea. Just mentioning their names is bad for Pedro’s blood pressure. Owing them a favor? Oh Lord. He still asked, though, because he was out of options, but he can’t say he didn’t know he’d regret it. Neither man expected things to blow up this badly. Now they’re both on the run from the mafia, the cops, and everyone in between… except for August and Ricardo. On one hand, that means they have two expert assassins in their corner. On the other, it means they have the biggest troll on the planet heckling them at every turn. And sticking them in a safehouse together. With only one bed. And if August or Ricardo make one more comment about how Dave and Pedro should just hook up already… Cop vs. Capo is 67,500 words long, and is book 4 of the Hitman vs. Hitman series.
