Go Down Hard

Meg has been the victim of violence herself, and she has decided to act as a silent guardian for other women by turning on predatory men. She hunts them down, and she is searching for a private place of her own to kill them.

Her search leads her into the territory of Jack, a serial killer who is sure of himself and his skill. When she bursts through his front door, still chasing her current prey, she finds him with his latest victim. Neither expected the other. Each sees at once that the stranger in the doorway kills too.

Meg arrives in jeans, drinking whiskey, and she is not afraid of him. Jack has always thought himself above wanting anyone, and she makes him want things anyway. The pull between them is physical, and it sits right beside the pull toward violence.

The book is a dark romantic thriller told around two killers who meet as equals. The question driving it is whether their attraction ends in bed or in a death, and the tension between desire and murder shapes every scene they share.
