What this book is about
Lana Clark is systematically targeting the men who murdered her family while manipulating FBI agent Logan Bennett — who is investigating a string of related deaths — into a relationship that gives her access and cover. S.T. Abby's dark romance deliberately blurs the line between victim and perpetrator, with explicit sexual content, significant violence, and extreme psychological content around a vigilante serial killer as romantic protagonist.
