She delivers justice the system won’t. He’s the only one who sees her. By day, Maxine Pochon is a quiet, unassuming assistant at a law firm that specialises in helping victims of assault. By night, she hunts the men the law refuses to punish—using her charm to lure them in, forcing confessions, and ensuring they never hurt another woman again. She knows she’s on borrowed time. Eventually, someone will catch on. Connor isn’t just someone. A skilled hacker working alongside the police, he was supposed to help track down the town’s infamous serial killer. Instead, he became obsessed with her. Watching her. Studying her. Wanting her. When their worlds finally collide, it isn’t just a game of cat and mouse—it’s a dark, twisted desire neither of them can resist. But secrets don’t stay hidden forever. And when the truth comes out, Connor will have to make a hand her over, or become the monster at her side. A dark romance filled with obsession, crime, and passion, No Mercy in Red is perfect for fans of Lights Out and Haunting Adeline.
