About the Author
Nico James Vesper writes provocative psychological thrillers that blur the line between obsession and control. With a voice that is both intimate and unflinching, Nico explores the darker impulses of love, power, and vulnerability through characters who seduce and self-destruct in equal measure.
Fascinated by morally ambiguous relationships and the emotional damage we invite into our lives, Nico's work is as much about the thrill of surrender as it is about the cost of it.
Righteous Damage is their debut novel.
