Hard Candy
by Francesca Baez
Miel Conde doesn't exist. There's no record of her birth, life, or crimes. The only evidence she's left behind is carved into my flesh. Armed with a name, a blurry photo, and a gnawing need for revenge, I've spent the past year searching for a ghost. A ghost that haunts both my dreams and my nightmares. A ghost that was just caught on security cameras in Miami. Miel Conde tortured me and left me for dead. When I punish her, I won't be taking any chances. This time, only one of us is walking away alive.
