August Mulvaney has always been exceptional. As the genius son of an eccentric billionaire, his off-putting behavior is often blamed on his high IQ. They say there’s a thin line between genius and madness. August is both—a brilliant professor loved by his students and a ruthless, obsessive killer tasked with righting the wrongs of a failing justice system. And he’s just found his latest obsession: Lucas Blackwell.
Lucas Blackwell was once the golden child of the FBI, using his secret talent as a clairvoyant to help put away society’s worst. Until, with a touch, he discovers his co-worker is a killer and his life falls apart. Now, the world thinks he’s crazy and that co-worker wants him dead. He seeks refuge at a small college, hoping to rebuild his life and his reputation. But then he runs into August Mulvaney. Literally.
August is immediately intrigued with Lucas and his backstory. He doesn’t believe in psychics, but there’s no missing the terror in his eyes when they collide in the hallway. Now, August has a problem. Lucas knows his secret, and August knows he wants Lucas. And August always gets what he wants.
Can he convince Lucas that not all killers are created equal and that having a psychopath in his corner—and in his life—might be just what he needs?
Psycho is a fast-paced, thrill ride of a romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features a psychopath hell-bent on romance and a disgraced FBI agent attempting to redeem himself. As always, there’s gratuitous violence, very dark humor, and scenes so hot it will melt your kindle. This is book two in the Necessary Evils series. Each book follows a different couple.
ONLEY JAMES lives in North Carolina with her daughter, her daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and a menagerie of animals, both good and evil. James splits her time between writing m/m romance and mainlining dangerous levels of caffeine and attempting to maintain her ever-slipping sanity.
When not at her desk, you can find her whining about how much writing she has to do while avoiding said writing by binge-watching unhealthy amounts of television and doom scrolling on social media. She loves true crime documentaries, anti-heroes, and writing kinky, snarky books about morally gray men who fall in love with other men.

Liam DiCosimo, a modern seanachaí, or Irish Folk storyteller, comes from the long tradition of using a wide range of conventions, styles of speech and gestures that were particular to the Irish folk tradition that helped characterize them as practitioners of their art. Renowned for their expansive repertoires, captivating voices, and commanding presence, the tales of the seanachaí were passed from one practitioner to another without ever being written down, allowing the storyteller to relive the story in their own words and immerse their audience in the adventure.
Liam’s performance experience began on the stage during primary and secondary school musical productions, and progressed to his enrollment at The Crane School of Music, a top five music conservatory in the US, to over a decade traveling the country as a musician performing on MTV’s TRL, The Bamboozle Festival and Vans Warped Tour as the lead singer of the band, Honor Bright.
Eventually in 2013, he made the transition into podcasting and has worked as a host on his own podcast as well as a creative consultant for over 1,000 other podcasts with his best friend, Tim Paige at MakeMyIntro.com
Having parlayed his skills as an entertainer, Liam began work as a voice over actor and narrator, finding his true love and passion in the pages of literature just waiting to be brought to life.
