  Coming in the summer of 2015.

  Catarina Stone is a woman of mystery, and she likes to keep it that way. But she is thrust into the limelight when two of her “girls” are slain by a serial killer. The Tampa Madame, as she has been dubbed by the press, is being hounded by the media who want to find a connection between the killer and her. She reaches out to Andreas Marino of The Marino Bros.

  Cat has done her research, and knows she needs a professional, a person experienced in catching psychopaths. She needs Andreas. The police are baffled, and the killer must be caught before another one of her girls is mutilated, then murdered.

  Andreas Marino, the striking eldest Marino, does know serial killers. It used to be his job. But not anymore. Not since one of those sick bastards claimed his parent’s lives, and destroyed his own. He doesn’t want this case, not at all. Not until he sees her.

  The strikingly elegant Madame intrigues him. She is an enigma. And, Andreas can’t get her out of his head . . . and the need to have her in his bed. When she shows him copies of the note left by the killer, signed “Beautiful No More,” the thought of her exquisiteness destroyed reignite a flame in him he thought long dead. He must catch a killer. He must save the girl. If he doesn’t, Andreas will be lost this time . . . forever.

  Beautiful No More is the final book in The Bounty Hunters - The Marino Bros.

  Suspenseful, erotic, and romantic, these books are packed with passion, sex and characters you will love. What more could you want?

  First, my husband. Thank-you for being supportive of me on this journey. It helps to know that you have my back on this journey. Writing has been my dream for a long time, and you make it possible by giving me the time to do it and standing by my side and cheering me on.

  MJ Nightingale has been a teacher for over two decades. Writing is her new career, and something she has wanted to do for a very long time. But reading has been a part of her life since she was a child. She has been an avid lover of romance novels, and they have always held a special place in her heart.

  She has published six novels, all contemporary romance, and her new series, The Bounty Hunters, will add an element of suspense to her already complicated character portrayals. Fans of MJ will not be disappointed.

  She currently lives in Florida with her wonderful husband, and sons. And, she loves to hear from her readers.
