When Revenge Calls

When Revenge Calls… Book One of the Vengeance Trilogy Samantha thought she had escaped him. After surviving a brutal marriage, she's done everything she can to rebuild her life—burying the past, silencing the memories, and learning how to feel safe again. With Doc—steady, perceptive, and impossible to push away—she begins to believe in something she hasn't felt in years: A future. But the past doesn't disappear. It waits. What begins as a quiet sense of unease quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Someone is watching Samantha. Studying her. Anticipating her every move. And this isn't random. It's personal. As the threats escalate, Samantha finds herself trapped in a calculated, relentless game of cat and mouse. Each clue pulls her deeper into a web of secrets—secrets tied not only to the life she thought she left behind, but to something even more buried… something rooted in the childhood trauma she has spent years trying to forget. But forgetting doesn't erase the truth. And someone is determined to make sure she remembers. Now, Samantha must confront the darkest parts of her past before they consume her present—because the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she gets to a predator who has been waiting… and who isn't finished with her yet. Some pasts don't stay buried. Some debts demand revenge. When Revenge Calls is the gripping first installment in Sandra L.
