With a murderous secret and a dark history few but Helen Eriksson know, an uncertain path lies ahead of her. Helen's past, present and future are on a collision course with a sense of morality she wonders if she ever possessed. Her husband's corpse is barely cold, laid to rest under a shroud of suspicion directed at her by former peers at the FBI. Revenge boils in her veins against the one who shattered her perfect life, or the carefully constructed illusion of such. One thing Helen does not believe is that coincidences happen. So when an opportunity falls into her lap to slip through the web of the FBI investigation into her ex-husband's murder and darken the doorstep of the man she holds responsible for her professional ruin, Helen is hard pressed to resist the lure. Rather than arriving in Darkwater Bay anonymously, Helen walks with full knowledge into what she understands could be a trap sprung by her nemesis, Danny Datello. But the shield of a police detective's badge can't protect her from what she fears she has become by genetic birthright - a hardened murderer just like the father who shaped her into the woman she has become. What Helen doesn't count on is investment in anything but her own plot of revenge. To her surprise, the discovery of a body mere hours before her arrival in Darkwater Bay draws her into more than her own conflicted desires, but a corrupt city with its own secrets. Even more shocking is the realization that Helen craves more than Datello's punishment; justice for a dead victim.

He approached me with an air of superiority, clearly unimpressed by my presence. "I hope you understand, Calista, that this marriage is purely a business arrangement," he said coldly. "Do not expect me to treat you with any sort of affection or kindness." I almost laughed, because I didn't care. I just needed him to give me a reason to disappear. So what if I'm bound to him by some promise my parents made? I can easily turn that back on them. I straightened my spine and met his gaze with determination. "I see," I replied, my voice steady. "But you best believe that I will break you. SInce you want to keep me here against my will, I'll make you regret agreeing to marry me." His eyebrows rose, clearly surprised by my response. "Very well. But do not expect any mercy from me." 'Well...shall I dare say it's a pleasure to finally meet you?" "...The feeling isn't mutual." ➿➿➿➿➿➿ Calista York has always been an independent woman. After moving away from her parents as soon as she came of age, nothing has come easy for her. Even after attending college, and landing a good and stable job, she still doesn't know what life has in store for her. If there's even anything else. Work. Drink. Party. Repeat. Calista's familiar routine for every week. Until it one day was rudely interrupted. After years of radio silence from the people who claimed to love her, Calista has finally obtained something new to add to her routine. Marriage. Upon reading their unreasonable request IN A LETTER, Calista is now more determined than ever to keep her life to herself. She's never truly been in love. It won't start now, because her parents want her back. Ignoring their demands to return home, Calista resumes her life as usual. Nothing will change. Or so she thinks. ©️ 2023 Rhydian Adhaya
