Trigger Finger Blues

by Chad Pelley

Marcel, a sensitive male sniper, knew his life was missing something. But he didn't know what until he set his crosshairs on Violet Caine. A ginger-headed lover of Thai food, wanted dead simply because her brother messed with the wrong bike gang. It's a story of redemption coming too late, and the ways happenstance can turn a warm man cold. Then warm again. Whether fate wrote his troubled life, or he wrote it himself, he wants Violet Caine to be the end of it. Be it figuratively or literally.
