About the Author

Acknowledgements

To my top-tier daughter—thanks for being your authentic self and for always being my biggest cheerleader. I love you beyond measure. Always have, always will. You are beautiful and anyone who doesn’t see that does not deserve a place in your life.

To author David Six, my bestie boo boo—well, what can I say. You’ve been there for me from the beginning of this amazing journey. You’ve read my shit, I’ve read yours, and we’ve survived some rough times. I think we’re gonna make it.

To Bancy, Angela, Mikaela, and Simona—thank you so much for being my beta readers and for all the feedback you gave me. I don’t think B,V would be the incredible story it is without your kind words and gentle nudging it needed to take it next-level.

And to Georgia, my constant writing companion for 12 out of your 15 amazing, beautiful years … damn. You were my Smith & Wesson and ADT all wrapped up into one. But you were so much more than that. You were the most loyal being I have ever known. You kept me safe, kept me sane, and always looked at strangers the way they deserve to be regarded: with scorn and suspicion. Writing will never be the same without you lying by my feet, orwoo-wooingdown the hall with your baby in your mouth, or all the other countless things you did that made me laugh before old age and disease stole the vibrancy from your day to day. I love and miss you. And this world will never be the same without you.

Description

_________

I'm out for vengeance, and I won't stop until King's blood is on my hands.

Don’t let my beauty fool you. I’m a killer.

And I’ve been trained by my best friend Rigger tofind and killKing—the leader of a child sex trafficking ring and the man responsible for murdering my mother, killing my innocence, and obliterating my faith in men.

I’m this close to finding him too, when one of my kills drops a name.

Benjamin Figueiredo.

He works with King, knows exactly where I can find him and slip a knife into his throat.

So I do everything I can to cozy up to Benjamin.

No matter how much Ihate him.

No matter how badly Idon’t want toneed him.

No matter howhard I might fallfor him.

Or how fast it drives a wedge between me and Rigger.

Nothing will stop me. I'm out for vengeance.

I’ll put myself and my heart in harm’s way to track and murder the bastard.

But the closer I get to King, the more I realize …

Being in harm’s way doesn’t matter when your world is about to shatter once again.

Author Note: This is Book 1 of a series. It ends in a hard cliffhanger.

Chapter 1

Killers aren’t born this way. They are made.

Just as I was made.

Made to revel in the sensation of warm blood trickling over my fingers as my enemies gasp for their last breath.

It’s so easy luring them in, too. As a 21-year-old platinum blond with eyes the color of jade, full red lips, and a set of double Ds that get more double-takes than a two-headed circus clown, I’ve learned to work my beauty to my advantage.
