Sally
I was going to die. All these years I'd trusted him, and only him. I lived a lie. I had no friends, no family, no one to turn to... but him.
I don't know how I woke up where I am, who saved me from him.
I know I'm in his brother's home. I know he's hated his brother with a violent passion for two decades.
I know his brother's a killer.

I'm insane. I was born that way. I've found ways to live with it, people who understand me.
I know I'm a devil. I wasn't born that way, but it's the only way I've learned to live after losing her. I need escape. I need control. I need to believe it wasn't my fault.
I still have nightmares, but not about her. It's another woman haunting me, a woman I don't recognize, a screaming woman covered in blood.
I don't know what to do when I find her. She's real. She's alive. And she knows who I am. Congress made the country dry, whiskey isn't available anymore. A woman's body never was something a man had a right to sell. But Earl Cooper has built an empire on both women and booze, and Sally Benson has been one of his wares since before she was old enough to be. When a chain of mysterious murders open doors to her rescue, she thinks she may finally have a second chance at life. All of that dims when she wakes up face to face with a man presumed dead twenty years before, a man Earl Cooper swore haunted him as a ghost, brutally killing men close to him.
Why had someone rescued her, only to send her to a killer? "When Angels Run" is not a dark romance, but it is a book that explores some very dark themes. It includes spicy scenes and triggering content that may not be suitable for all readers.
