Carnage & Other Green Flags

In the standalone sequel to Blackmail and Other Turn-Ons, a new Vale sister is on the hunt for villainous men in Vegas.

Don’t let the precision bob or the tailored wardrobe fool you—Iris Vale likes a mess, especially when it comes to the child abusers she spends her nights hunting. Her methods are simple: Drug her prey using the tinctures from her apothecary, then finish the job with something sharp.

Silas Blake knows a predator when he sees one. As a big-cat handler who's witnessed brutal tiger attacks, he’s developed an instinctual relationship with violence. Maybe that’s why, when he stumbles upon Iris taking down her latest kill, the feral threat she poses is like a pheromone.

Neither of them is interested in feelings, so they strike an accord: A relationship to explore their more…primal urges.

But no cage can tame their emotions forever. And when Silas's past comes back to bite him, Iris must not only risk exposing her own crimes to save him, but come face to face with the most bloodthirsty beast yet...

Her own heart.
