Virtuous Sin

Virtuous Sin is the bar the four survivors started as an ode to the sins of the past by those who claimed to be virtuous. It is also the front by which other victims come seeking aid with crimes, the police are not able to intervene in or solve. Leah Resnik is one such person who visits the Virtuous Sin bar to relieve the tension from a campaign of terror someone is visiting upon her.

Everlea Hemmings is a sweet newcomer to the fashion world that Noemi has taken under her wings. Unfortunately, her kind of beauty displaces others on the circuit, causing some major bullying. Somebody takes it a bit past trying to scare her away one night with deadly consequences. Now, Everlea has become the Virtuous Sin's team's next "pseudo" client, as they try to figure out who exactly wants the world's next supermodel dead before her star can fully rise.

When an old friend asks for help trying to solve a serial killer case that has baffled the FBI for a while, the suspect they propose is the exact opposite of what the profile says they will be looking for. Ray, who normally doesn't have much to add, cracks this case wide open, of a man whose humility, the modest external situation will reveal him to be anything but when the women are done with him. Like Nathaniel, though, this slippery eel is killing a path to their front door, and he is pretty good at covering his tracks.

Noemi helps mentor a girl through a new program at the local nonprofit where her modeling agency is volunteering time. Something about the little girl is off, but she can't put the finger on it. The seventh adopted child of a local businessman revered around town and his wife, she meets a wall of silence when raising her concerns. The local coordinator of the program gives her condescension and looks down her nose at the allegations. Of course, Noemi knows the perfect group to help provide her some backup.

Atara is on a mission to rescue Ryder from Nathaniel’s clutches and is chasing leads like a crazy woman. Nothing Levi, Ray, or Jax can do slowing her down, as all they can do is get on board and hope that they have her back when she needs it. Following a trail of breadcrumbs across multiple states, they finally land at the front door of a charity that takes in street kids and tries to give them a fresh start. It is also one of the last places that Ryder was seen seeking shelter, but this sinister place is all smoke and mirrors.

A new mystery south of the border ensues. Jax’s sister, Justeen, is on a mission to save other girls in a bad spot like she once was, but she might have bitten off more than she can chew with this latest rescue endeavor. When she stands between a baddie and millions of dollars, something is sure to give. 

With Levi’s life in the balance, Atara will stop at nothing to hunt down those who are holding him. It will take all the sisters to get to Levi in time. Unfortunately, the group holding him has lived in the shadows for years and boasts some of the world’s most powerful men as clients for the pure women they offer to the highest bidder. They are led by a smart, maniacal man who has everything riding on staying under the radar and offering the women a swap for their silence. Don’t blink - because nothing is as it seems in the underbelly of this city.

On the tail of finding out Alaric, Levi, and Nate’s secret, the women of Virtuous Sin are spiraling. Finding that everything they thought about reality was a façade in a bigger game of cat and mouse than anyone ever knew could be the end of the road for these three; at the very least, the men they had trusted are on the outs with them for certain. As they find a way back in, a new evil lurks. Being called from the darkness, he seeks to claim a secret that will change all dynamics of this war for good. 

Detective Arizona Tume has been bidding her time and waiting for just the right moment to make her move. Her cover is now blown, or so she believes after helping Alaric escape out of the task force. When some hard questions are brought to bear, she is on edge but still not fully cleared to leave the job she has been entrusted to for all these years. When Levi makes a move, she is not certain to believe her old partner, but the case she has been asked to advise on is too hot not to throw in with everyone trying to solve it.
