Description

Love is dangerous. Desire is deadly. Revenge is loaded.

Love like a Loaded Gun is a hardboiled noir thriller about obsession, betrayal, and the kind of love that leaves a trail of bodies behind.

Fresh out of a maximum-security prison after ten brutal years, Michael Sampson just wants a beer, a job, and a chance to write again. Instead, he falls hard for April, a married barmaid with a haunted past, an angel-shaped scar she won't explain, and a much older husband who's as cruel as he is dangerous.

As Michael struggles to rebuild his life, passion turns to fixation, and love turns lethal. Old wounds reopen. Old enemies resurface. And when revenge comes calling, Michael arms himself with a typewriter, a bottle of whiskey, and a loaded, pawn-shop revolver that may decide everyone's fate.

Written in the gritty tradition of Jim Thompson, James M. Cain, and classic pulp noir, Love like a Loaded Gun is a raw, fast-paced crime novel packed with sex, violence, moral ambiguity, and fatal attraction.

When love pulls the trigger, no one walks away clean. Nab your thrilling copy now.
