I only meant to love her... Tawny Owens was going to help me escape my past. She was going to change my future. But that's not what happened. I don't know if I can control it much longer. This insatiable need to kill the only good thing in my life. But this isn't her story - it's mine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A short story prequel to my upcoming novel, THE FINISH~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For mature audiences only. This book contains some graphic depictions of domestic abuse.

In the darkness of the shadows,
a man stalks his prey,
his bow and arrow aimed at the chests of those that hurt others. And in the light,
there is a woman,
who craves the truth,
but also revels in the darkness. Love doesn't make sense. It's ugly,
bloody,
and life-consuming. But Cupid has finally found his Valentine - and he'll do anything to keep her.
