Badger (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781942083030)

C. M. McKenna's compelling voice has earned a devoted audience and multiple awards for her erotic fiction. Her page-turning literary debut, Badger, disturbs and titillates with the story of a recovering pill addict whose compulsive fascination with a Boston antihero spirals out of control.

Nearly twelve months sober, Adrian Birch feels like a nobody. But when her wrist is broken in a hit-and-run accident, she's avenged by the Badger, a secretive street vigilante. Instantly obsessed, Adrian takes to staging suicide and constructing chance meetings to get his attention. Their resulting affair is harsh and needy, wrought with McKenna's signature dark eroticism--until the connection gets out of hand and ignites the violent passions of the city.

Hailed for her "evocative," "intense," "realistic," and "engrossing" stories by reviewers at Publisher's Weekly, USA Today, and Romantic Times, McKenna now establishes herself as a rising star in neo-noir. Badger challenges the reader to imagine how an impulsive young man is killed, offering only the perspective of the fascinating and unreliable Adrian Birch.
