Biographical Notes

C. J. Daugherty was 22 when she saw her first dead body. Although she left the world of crime reporting to edit travel books instead, she never lost her fascination with what it is that drives some people to do awful things. And about the kinds of people who try to stop them. Night School is the product of that fascination.

Full of unexpected twists, Night School is mysterious, creepy, and sexy - a tense thriller with a great romance. I was hooked from the first page. — L. A. Weatherly, author of the bestselling ANGEL series

But it was too late. The McCartneys joined the Witness Protection Program, but they're anything but safe.As he comes of age, Jonathan is chosen to exterminate the McCartneys and prove himself. But as he watches her grow up, he can't get the little girl who becomes a beautiful but broken woman out of his mind....or his heart. Within the Bovaro clan, he pledges to kill her and her family. But he does that to keep her safe, to protect her from upstarts in the Bovaro organization who are out to gain power by exterminating her. When they finally meet, Jonathan falls in love with Melody. She knows a part of himself that nobody else knows, the part of himself that he's hidden away.
