The Lizzy Ballard Thrillers

Lizzy Ballard was born with an extraordinary ability, and while she tries to hide it, others seek to control it. Who will win this deadly zero-sum game? When Lizzy Ballard’s parents discover the damage she can do with her mind, they hide her away, trying to save her from life as a human lab rat —and trying to save others from her power. But they can’t hide her forever. When tragedy tears her family apart, Lizzy learns just how deadly her ability is, and how dangerous her life has become.

Lizzy is on the run after her fatal game of rock-paper-scissors with those behind the Vivantem fertility clinic’s nefarious experiments. She finds herself in the Red Rock Country of Arizona...and finds a mentor in a man with his own dark past. While Lizzy works to control her deadly ability, the Vivantem forces are hot on her trail, and Lizzy's power will be no defense against the weapon they have chosen.

She and her allies have drawn the attention of Theo Viklund, a reclusive billionaire who is determined to enlist them to his own cause—willingly or unwillingly. Even Lizzy's enemies at Vivantem seem to be no match for his reach. With the lines of communication cut, Lizzy struggles to understand exactly who the enemy is. And when the reckoning she promised to deliver brings her face to face with a ruthless killer, she discovers that even her deadly ability may not be enough to save the people she loves.

Lizzy Ballard possesses a dangerous power she struggles to control: the ability to inflict fatal brain injuries using only the power of her mind. Haunted by the memory of her victims, she's on the run from the authorities and from the scientist who created her power, Louise Mortensen. Lizzy has been hiding out in Arizona with her mentor, ex-con Philip Castillo. She's earning money at the poker tables of Phoenix, thanks to an unexpected ability bestowed by a drug stolen from Mortensen: temporary clairvoyance. When Lizzy and Philip decide to head east to Lizzy's hometown of Philadelphia, she's overjoyed to be reunited with her godfather, Owen McNally, and his brother Andy.

Lizzy Ballard is struggling to achieve her dream—a normal life unencumbered by her lethal and unwanted abilities—but her past and the enemies who seek to control her won’t let her go. To make matters worse, Philip Castillo, a man who means more to Lizzy than she’s ready to admit, has vanished, likely held hostage by crime kingpin Billy Chapel. As Lizzy races against time to find Philip while keeping herself out of Billy's clutches, she quickly realizes the cost of her pursuit may be higher than she ever imagined.
