Hell Hath No Fury: Murder Games, #5

By O Gränd

How many women do you have to bury before you're free to do what you want?

Jeremy Rice is willing to do just about anything not to have to kill anyone this month. He dreads the day the envelope with the challenge will appear in his letterbox. When Derek shows up at his flat, claiming the challenge already has started, Jeremy has little choice but to get his mind in gear. 

Vanessa will ruin him unless he completes the challenge, and to be able to, he needs a girl dressed in flashy colours. But where to find one in such short notice?

Nah... Derek emptied the glass with a twitch of his mouth. Do you think she would? Isn't the game a way to live out some sort of fantasy she doesn't dare fulfil herself?

It is a game.

A coppery taste filled Jeremy's mouth as he bit his cheek. It's not a game; real people are dying.

People die all the time.
