Delicate Justification

I unalive men who hurt women and children, but go free.

With my girl next door looks, those men never see me coming. I'm as lethal as it gets. That's why I can mete out justice when the system fails.

My new assignment: kidnap a child from the predator holding him captive.

I'm shocked when the poor kid bonds to me over the body of his captor. His uncle demands I help him adjust to freedom. Graham Peters and his ward, Jaythan, claim I belong with them. Jaythan clings to my violence, and Graham sees my good.

Right.

He vows to accept the darkest parts of me, but it's been so long since I lived in the light I can barely recall what it feels like. I'm not even sure I can survive there. Love and vengeance can't coexist, and the dark gray of my existence isn't going away. There's always another criminal slipping through the fingers of the law right into the hands of my fatal wrath.
