She Was a Friend of Mine 3

By the time Scheyenne “Shi” Iverson meets Spencer “Spin” Washington, she already understands how the Bay really works. She knows leverage. She knows silence. She knows that the fastest way to the truth isn’t force—it’s proximity.

Spin isn’t just powerful. He’s connected to everything Shi has been circling since the night her life was destroyed. Access to him means access to answers. And Shi is willing to play the long game to get them.

What begins as strategy slowly turns into intimacy. What feels like control starts slipping. Somewhere between survival and desire, Shi finds herself bound to a man who represents everything she’s been chasing—and everything she should fear.

Living inside Spin’s world teaches Shi the final lessons no mentor can give: how violence hides behind love, how power isolates, and how easily protection becomes ownership. As the Bay watches her rise beside him, Shi moves closer than ever to the truth she’s been hunting—and further than she ever planned from the woman she used to be.

The book ends the same way it began.

Suddenly.

Violently.

Irrevocably.

With a gun raised.

And a bullet placed in her head.

She Was a Friend of Mine 3: Revenge is an intimate, character-driven Bay Area crime thriller about love as leverage, power as seduction, and the moment survival turns into surrender.
