The narrative follows Erika "Rika" Fane, a young woman who has spent years watching Michael Crist from afar. Michael is the older brother of her ex-boyfriend—terrifying, powerful, and a star athlete.

But after a mysterious event on Devil’s Night three years ago sent Michael’s friends to prison, he and his "Horsemen" are convinced Rika is to blame. Now that she has moved to his city for college, Michael is determined to make her pay. What follows is a "dark and twisted" game of cat and mouse where the lines between hatred and desire completely disappear.

Corrupt by Penelope Douglas is the explosive first book in the Devil’s Night series , a dark romance that redefined the genre with its "Four Horsemen," intense psychological tension, and gritty, high-heat storytelling. If you are looking for an "unforgettable" ride through revenge and obsession, this is where it begins.

Corrupt isn’t just a romance; it’s a high-stakes psychological thriller.
