Provocation

Doctor Victoria Ward has been killing men for over thirty years. Her victims all have one thing in common: they're abusive. Righteousness is a close companion-it helps her sleep at night-and she holds the virtue closely as she defends the innocent, upholding the law when it won't rise to protect those who need it most. When she meets a young girl named Kelly, and follows her down a twisted path of deception, Doc Ward finds herself face-to-face with a ghost from her past. Never before has she wavered in her resolve-but can she defend another against someone she loves? ***NOTE: This is a standalone novel in a series with crossover characters and may be read independently of the other books.
