Dark, witty and entertaining, this set suits fans of morally grey anti-heroes and high-stakes love stories.. About the Books:. Butcher and Blackbird opens with a chance meeting between Sloane and Rowan, two rival serial killers who discover an unexpected kinship in their shared dark pursuits. Travelling from small-town West Virginia to upscale California and downtown Boston to rural Texas, the pair collide annually in a brutal game pitting them against the country's most dangerous monsters. As their partnership deepens into something more personal, ghosts trailing behind them threaten to claim more than just their newfound romance. Told in dual POV, it's a fast, funny, and surprisingly tender dive into found family and love forged in violence, ending on a satisfying happy-ever-after. Leather and Lark shifts focus to Lachlan Kane, a contract killer desperate to walk away from the underworld after a job goes wrong. Enter Lark Montague, a seemingly sunny indie singer hiding secrets of her own, who offers Lachlan a way out — a marriage of convenience, in exchange for help hunting a dangerous enemy. What begins as a reluctant arrangement quickly crackles with tension, banter, and undeniable attraction. Together, these instalments showcase Weaver's signature blend of razor-sharp humour, gritty suspense, and emotionally charged romance, exploring trust, redemption, and the pull between danger and devotion — each standing strong as its own complete, interconnected arc within the wider trilogy world..
