Art, vengeance, and a dangerous bargain

Morello’s ambitions as an artist become bound to an annual pact with Florence: targeting men in the art world in exchange for a promised life of privilege. The murders are staged as performances, making artistic ambition and revenge part of the same arrangement. When Morello falls for Jude, who offers a glimpse of life beyond violence, that bargain collides with the possibility of another future. Psychological suspense drives a story about exploitation, manipulation, obsession, and the costs of seeking power and survival through violence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers of psychological thrillers centered on revenge and manipulation
  • Readers interested in stories set within the art world
  • Readers drawn to fiction exploring power, obsession, and morally fraught bargains

Book overview

Would you still love me if I were a murderer...?

Morello is a nobody: a homeless orphan and starving artist with nothing but impossible dreams of escaping obscurity. Then Florence appears--dazzling, dangerous, and offering Morello a way out, on one chilling condition: each year, they must hunt and kill one of the art world's predatory men. In return, Morello will inherit a life of privilege and promise.

Together, they transform revenge into twisted performance art, staging each murder with meticulous, theatrical flair. But when Morello falls for Jude, a wealthy art student who offers her a glimpse of a life sans murder, her carefully curated reality begins to unravel, and she's one lie away from losing everything she's killed for. With the body count rising and anonymous threats closing in, Morello must finally ask herself: Is the cost of vengeance ever truly paid? And after a life shaped by violence and manipulation, will she ever become the artist of her own fate, or will she remain forever someone else's muse?

Compulsive and deviant, My Violent Muse is a razor-sharp thriller about revenge, exploitation, obsession, and the dangerous bargains we strike for power, survival, and love.
