Retribution

by John York

Jack is a piano teacher. Lilith is a library technician. Though neither one has any interest in a romantic relationship, a mutual infatuation begins the moment they meet. Attraction becomes obsession, and their compulsive passion leads to an enigmatic phenomenon resulting in the melding of their souls as well as their bodies. Jack’s dark side is revealed and a latent dark power within Lilith is unleashed, creating a powerful force they will use to track down a murderous pedophile — a path neither of them had planned.
The Russian Bratva and the Cuban mob believe Jack threatens their sordid enterprise of child sexual trafficking. They want him dead. Although Jack fears for the safety of everyone around him, Lilith insists on staying by his side. Treachery, assassination squads, hitmen, supernatural powers and, ultimately, retribution create a compelling page-turning thriller set against the backdrop of an unforgettable romance story.
Piano teacher or deadly vigilante? Librarian or mother of demons? This might be the best dark-romance suspense novel you’ll ever read.
