Emily Calby's destiny as a justice-seeker was cast at age twelve when two men invaded her rural Georgia home and murdered her family. The only survivor, she ran away and went missing. Ex-gang member Lucas Jackson took her in off the streets and became her family. He taught her a lot, including how to survive-and kill. Her path to justice since the attack has been an ongoing struggle between giving into ruthless impulses and trusting in The Law. After a murder trial at sixteen, Lucas made her swear off violence and rely on the law, but the battle within her rages on.

Now she's twenty and excited to start law school in sunny Florida. One problem. She's being stalked. Or is she? Traumatized by her past, she lives in a state of hypervigilance where the ordinary seems ominous. A moved houseplant. A broken starfish. They're nothing ... but still. Determined to be the warrior and survivor Lucas taught her to be, she suffers in secret while navigating the rites and rigors of law school, where trouble follows her every move. From a budding romance that's not what it seems to a legendary professor in need of help-and Justice.

Target: The Girl is book 3 in the Emily Calby Series, joining The Hiding Girl and The Girl in Cell 49B.
