Dark Art

She wants justice. He wants entertainment. Turns out, that’s basically the same thing.


Aria Renfrew never set out to become a serial killer. No, she had her heart set on getting married, learning to bake, and restoring an old French chateau in the sleepy town of Poeymirau. But she’s never been afraid of getting her hands dirty, and when her dreams are torn away from her, the only way to get closure is through a very different kind of DIY. 


Art Russo has been killing for as long as he can remember, starting with the papa who made his life a living hell. As a nameless Russian assassin, a weapon aimed at a target, he honed his skills with surgical precision. But that’s all in the past. He’s semi-retired now, busy wrangling his accidental family and running a successful art gallery. The problem? He’s really f*cking bored.


When a chance meeting over murder sparks Art’s interest, Aria finds herself falling deeper into the dark than she ever wanted to go. Facilitating dramatic deaths isn’t Art’s only skill; he knows how to push her buttons too.


With Art driving her round the bend, travesties of justice happening daily, and the roof leaking every time it rains, Aria doesn’t have time for any more drama. But residents keep disappearing in Poeymirau, and the local cops couldn’t organise une soûlerie in a vineyard. Who’s indulging in a little extracurricular entertainment? 


Dark Art is an enemies-to-lovers romcom suspense novel that includes morally grey everything, fun with DIY, and an unhinged girl squad.
