Bloody Fingers & Red Lipstick Paperback

The Bloody Decades Trilogy 1

Some women are born with sadness etched into their bones. That’s the case with Lucille Thompson. Forced to marry a notorious lawyer, she’s everything you would expect from a 1950s housewife. Proper, polite, and doomed to a life with no choices of her own while her husband cheats, lies, and likes to get creative with making her life a living hell.

The one thing that helps her survive is fantasizing about his demise. One day, after one of his violent outbursts, she decides to write down those murderous thoughts on paper. Fast forward, Mrs. Thompson publishes a book, and that’s where things get even more perilous than they already were.

A criminal by the name of Dubh Burton crashes into her life like a lightning strike. This man spends his days in Crimson Manor—an asylum for the criminally insane. Days blur together in a torturous soup of agony, until he comes across a book in the prison library. A tale about a housewife who dreams of killing her husband and does so in the most horrific way.

Dubh believes he can read between the lines. He concludes that Lucille’s words are a cry for help. She becomes an obsession, and he decides that he will liberate her once his time is served. He will feed her deepest and darkest desires, show her things she never even dared to dream of. He’ll hand revenge to her on a silver platter in the hopes of winning her heart.

When he is finally released, Lucille wakes up in a living nightmare. All the scary scenes from her book seem to come to life. And though she knows she should run far away from Dubh, all she seems to want to do is run toward him.
