Save Me from Dangerous Men by S. A. Lelchuk

Nikki Griffin isn’t your typical bookseller. Behind the counter of her quiet Bay Area bookstore, she hides a secret life — one defined by justice served in the shadows. She reads people as easily as she reads prose, and when men hurt women, Nikki doesn’t call the police. She handles it herself.

When a new case pulls her into the orbit of a Silicon Valley start-up, Nikki expects another job wrapped in lies. But this time, the stakes spiral beyond anything she’s faced — tangled in corruption, technology, and lethal secrets that threaten to consume everyone in their path.

Now hunted and haunted, Nikki must decide how far she’s willing to go to protect those who can’t protect themselves. Her own code of justice will be tested — and her past may prove as dangerous as the men she’s trying to stop.

A gripping debut that fuses adrenaline, intelligence, and heart, Save Me from Dangerous Men is a bold, razor-edged thriller about power, vengeance, and the cost of survival.
