A.V. SHENER
NECESSARY EVIL
Small-Town Scars Never Heal
Will Thomas is haunted by his past
In his small Missouri town in the early 90s, there isn’t a person who hasn’t witnessed the chaos between him and his former lover, the sheriff’s son. It ended in a tragedy that is still talked about like an urban legend. As he tries to move on and care for his dying sister, forces beyond Will’s control relentlessly seek revenge.
Then Owen arrives in town
Running from his deadly mistakes, he must stay with his aunt during his probation and keep out of trouble. He’s a breath of fresh air, bringing with him the kind of energy Will hasn’t experienced in years. But to get close to Owen is to put him at risk.
