The last time Gwen Kane killed a man, it was to stay alive. This time, she's going looking.
For the first time in years, Gwen has something worth protecting. A job at the only café in Black Pines. A best friend stitching her life back together. A man who loves her enough to bury her secrets beside his own.
Then her friend Delilah turns up dead, and Gwen knows exactly who did it.
Sebastian doesn't want to help. He killed once for his own sister, and he'll carry that weight forever, but he keeps insisting what Gwen wants is different. That rage isn't justice. That loving her means pulling her back from the edge, not stepping over it beside her.
Gwen has spent her whole life being told to swallow her fury. She's done swallowing.
A funeral she wasn't invited to. A predator hiding behind a grieving boyfriend's face. A fifteen-year-old sister already looking at him the way Delilah once did. And a partner who can't decide whether he's saving Gwen or losing her to something neither of them will survive.
Because Evan isn't the first name on Gwen's list. He's only the first she's willing to say out loud.
Genre: Mystery
