(trust me on this one... you want to before buying)
Byron is tall, handsome, cultured, and rich. He's also an unrepentant serial killer with a penchant for bloody, gruesome torture. His techniques and ability to hide in plain sight come from a lifetime of honing his skills, and no one who walks through his doors ever sees the light of day again.
Micheal's been at his job so long that he's bored and disillusioned and can barely remember the days when his work used to bring him joy. He finds himself dumping more and more of his workload on his subordinates so that he can play hooky. He knows something needs to change . . . but what?
When Micheal's boss decides to send him on an unusual errand, Micheal and Byron are thrown together, and each finds themselves challenged in ways they never expected. But there is a mystery at the heart of their uneasy relationship—will unravelling the past solve that mystery and give them their hearts' desires?

Questions about Better the Devil You Know
Since I've received numerous emails over the weekend about Devil, I thought I'd lay out the answers here :)
Q: Why is there a paperback but no ebook on Amazon?
A: Two different review processes. Paperbacks go through Createspace and they don't seem to scan for content, only technical specs. Once Devil was accepted in paperback, I figured I'd try for the ebook too - originally I wasn't going to bother because I didn't think it would pass review. I was right. The file was rejected because it violates their submission guidelines.
Q: I thought Smashwords accepted everything. Why is Devil banned there?
A: After some email exchanges with the Smashwords team, it was decided that it violates their guidelines. Their exact wording was:
"We have been reviewing your book in greater detail, and the decision was that it is not a good fit for us. It will remain unpublished on Smashwords."
Why? Too murdery.
Q: So where can I get it?
A: See this post for all the links :)
A huge thanks to everyone who've been sharing links/recommended Devil! Much appreciated :) I'm very happy that it's getting to readers!
