Rafferty Family Series

The guilty will atone in blood…

As a vigilante targets predators in Detective September Rafferty’s Oregon town, another killer begins a deadly hunt in New York Times bestselling author Nancy Bush’s gripping, gritty romantic thriller for readers of Laura Griffin, Karen Rose and Allison Brennan.

She senses their twisted desires before she meets them. It’s as if fate is helping her stop these monsters from preying on others the way she was preyed upon. And after she has delivered brutal justice, she’ll let the whole world see their guilt.

“I must pay for what I’ve done.” The first victim—naked, bound, frozen to death—wore the note strung around his neck. Now there’s another note—this one attached to Detective September Rafferty’s own stepbrother. Stefan survives, but September is sure he knows more than he’s saying. Someone is eliminating suspected sexual predators. And the only thing more dangerous than a madman is a killer who’s ruthlessly sane.

Racing to predict the next target, September finds herself drawn into a harrowing and deeply personal case. For this time, there are no innocents—only the one who kills, and those condemned to die . . .

The others are just a way to ease the rage that has festered for years, until the only thing that calms him is his knife slicing through skin . . .

But trusting anyone could be her last mistake . . .

TO REGRET
