Sweet Temptation

In this short story, a prequel to the book Sweet Revenge, we follow Jackson confronting his birth father about abandoning his mother in order to marry his mistress. Turns out Dad is complete jerk so who feels bad about a cheeky bit of blackmail between estranged family? Coincidentally Jackson runs into an upset women on the street and learns she is Malcolm's new mistress Carrie. This discovery leads to his years long scheming on how to seek revenge on his father, which is the story told in Sweet Revenge. It was great to get some background to how they all first met, though I read this after Sweet Revenge I still recommend reading it either way!
