A.L. Cross: Deep Shadows. Relentless Danger. Dark Romance.
Deep Shadows. Relentless Danger. Dark Romance.
STUDIO BURIES THE FOOTAGE. THE FOOTAGE DOESN'T STAY BURIED.
SENATOR'S HUSBAND HIRES CRIMINAL COUNSEL. SENATOR SAYS IT'S NOTHING.
You read them. Everybody read them. Nobody printed what actually happened.
A.L. Cross writes dark romantic suspense from inside the rooms. Los Angeles. London. Georgetown. Macau. A Nob Hill hotel that's kept a century of secrets. Private jets, brokered marriages, careers that end in a single phone call. Men and women worshipped by millions and known by no one. Everything they are is a flawless performance, until the cameras stop flashing and the masks slip.
Not every story starts on a red carpet. Some start in a safe house, where the conspiracy runs deeper than the government that built it. The address changes. The tone never does. Ambition is a blood sport, danger wears a bespoke suit, and his anti-heroes don't want justice. They want the one person they were never supposed to touch, and they'll burn the world to ash to keep them.
The romance and suspesne run hot. MM, MF, and the occasional three. Some couples get one book. Some get a series, and the danger follows them from one to the next. Either way, the last page of their story is the same: they get out alive and they get each other.
Before he wrote about the rooms, he sat in them. Cross spent thirty years in global corporate boardrooms, close enough to hear the gossip, the drama, the plans that never made the press release, and the lies told with a straight face over a very good lunch. Most of it he couldn't repeat. All of it is why the books run dark. He lives in Fort Lauderdale with his husband and a dog who holds the title Chief of Napping, and he still travels, because every city he's ever loved has given him a crime.
Ready to find your new obsession? Fair warning: once you enter his world, you may never want to leave. But you wouldn't want to.
