Britney Cage collects people. From her friends to her clients to the thousands of employees her temp agency places throughout Tampa, Britney obsessively sifts through humanity in search of the ones who might--in some way or other--prove useful to her. This compulsion has served her well. A young, successful businesswoman, Britney routinely hobnobs with the rich and powerful, making fans and amassing power at every rung up the ladder. Still, amid nights out with friends and lavish, sparkling parties with clients, there's always one person who seems just out of reach: her next victim.

Despite the obvious danger to her, Britney Cage has somehow collected a boy toy who also happens to be a cop. That means no hunting for her next victim, no planning her next exotic murder…nothing but fending off all this unwanted attention as her appetites threaten to consume her. Deep down, Britney knows that sleeping around with the enemy has got to end—and fast. She’s a hunter for god’s sake, and the time since her last kill has now stretched into months. She’s already picked her next victim, but can she plan a murder while disposing of her full-time pest of a lover?

They say life is all about choices...but prominent Florida businesswoman Britney Cage has nearly too many to handle.

Her longtime trusted assistant, Julie, or will she have to hunt down somebody new? Luckily, Britney is good at hunting. She's also Florida's deadliest serial killer, and despite her recent indecision in business, she's already chosen her next victims-two sisters who had the misfortune of insulting Britney at her favorite local restaurant.

Even serial killers get the blues. Instead, Florida’s deadliest is in a funk. Despite the thrill of a fresh hunt, Britney Cage’s personal life is as dead as her last victim. It’s been weeks since she’s heard from Stu, the handsome cop whose love promised something approaching a normal life. The same cop who walked out right after she confessed her darkest secret.
