Edie Swann returns to her childhood hometown to exact vengeance on the people who hounded her father to death years ago. Secretly, she delivers prominent townspeople a miniature black angel--a replica of the infamous one that guards her father's grave. But one by one, the recipients start dying mysteriously. Is she murdering them? Marking them for death? Or has the black angel truly come to aid her quest for revenge? When County Sheriff, Holt Drennen, discovers Edie's connection to the black angels, the town assumes he's found his perpetrator. Holt's not so certain. But does he believe in her innocence because the evidence is circumstantial or because of his growing feelings for her? And if Edie didn't commit the murders, who did? As Holt rushes to answer that question, the town's noose tightens around Edie. Meanwhile, a longtime resident is plotting to make sure the past stays buried, no matter who is buried with it. And a clever maniac wants to make sure that someone is Edie. COMING HOME IS MURDER... Revenge. Edie Swann has hungered for it since she fled her hometown as a little girl. Now she's returned, ready for payback. Armed with a list of names, she leaves each one a chilling sign that they have blood on their hands. Her father's blood. What happens next turns her own blood cold: one by one, the men she's targeted start dying. Sheriff Holt Drennen knows Edie is hiding something. She has a haunted look in her eyes and a defiant spirit, yet he can't believe she's a murderer. As the body count rises and all evidence points to Edie, Holt is torn between the town he's sworn to protect and the woman he's come to desire. But nothing is what it seems. Long buried secrets begin to surface, and a killer won't be satisfied until the sins of the past are paid in full--this time with Edie's blood.
