The Woman in Cabin 10
Ruth Ware
Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong…

Does It Hurt?
H.D. Carlton
Who am I? I've forgotten the answer to that question long ago. Ever since I ran from that house, so desperate to escape, I left with only the clothes on my back and socks on my feet. After that day, I've only ever walked in stolen shoes. Could I be a girl who is searching for the meaning of life in faceless men? They were all so forgettable. Until he came along. He took me under a waterfall and made me forget my name, and in return, I took his instead. Enzo Vitale. An enigmatic man that will only ever love the deep sea. Or rather the predators that inhabit it. Turns out, he's not so different than the monsters he feeds. He lured me onto his boat like a fish in the ocean, seeking vengeance for my crime. Had I realized his intentions, and that a massive storm would leave us shipwrecked, I would've ran. Now, I'm a girl who's seeking refuge in a decrepit lighthouse with a man who loathes me almost as much as he craves me. He wants to hurt me, but the old caretaker of the abandoned island may have intentions far more sinister. It's no longer a question of who I am, but rather, will I survive?

Beautiful Savage (The Boys of Sinners Bay, #2)
Caroline Peckham
“When they tried to destroy her, they forgot one thing… I’m the only monster who rules this mountain.” WINTER Bruised. Bloody. Bound. I lost everything the day they took me, my memories, my voice, my soul. I couldn’t tell them what they were so desperate to know, no matter what they did to me. Now I’m free, lost on this wild and snowy mountain with no one in the world to call upon. I don’t know who I am or where I belong, but I know what I want. The single purpose I have left is to destroy the vicious men who held me captive. The Five: Jax, Farley, Quentin, Orville, and Duke. All I need is a weapon powerful enough to take them on. And when I find it, I’ll be the one watching them scream. NICOLI I'm the shadow of two men and the total of none, I abandoned everything in Sinners Bay. Because I'm not the man I used to be. Fate guided me to her that day in the snow. This fragile creature covered in scars with the will of a warrior shining within. The torture she’s faced can never be set right, but I’ll give everything I am to destroy the men who hurt her. I was lost and alone before I found her. But maybe I can find redemption in making them bleed for my savage girl. And once I lay their heads at her feet, I’ll cast my tattered soul down with them too so she can decide if my sacrifice is great enough to cleanse my body of sin. Vengeance whispers their names on the wind and I’ll answer its call with all that I am. **Beautiful Savage is a standalone mafia bully romance between one guy and girl, but to read the series in order start with book 1 Beautiful Carnage**
