"when you left you took all of me with you."

In this twisted romance, twenty-five-year-old 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐠𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐲 thought her biggest problem was keeping her relationship together after seven years. That was until she walked outside one night and saw her boyfriend slumped in the passenger seat of her car, his blood soaking into the leather. He was shot dead, and left to rot in her driveway.

Caught between grief and suspicion, she leans on the one person she shouldn't-the man who swears he'll protect her, the man with a wicked smile and dark eyes holding much more than the tears he won't let fall. The same man she'll later discover pulled the trigger himself. And when the truth finally comes to light, there's no more pleading. No more tears. Just a gun in her hand and the taste of revenge burning her tongue. Because in the end... 𝑛𝑜 𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑛𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑤𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑑.

What starts as Keese trying to pull Blaise into a life she never asked for quickly becomes something neither of them expected. Blaise challenges everything he thought he wanted, while Keese slowly discovers that the girl he thought he could fit into his world might be the one forcing him to question it.
