Macey Malloy, daughter of a lawless ex-cult lord, is shot in the back. Her body armor saves her—this time. Was it a hit tied to her secret work as an animal-rights vigilante, risking everything to rescue animals from vicious experimentation? Or her powerful father’s bloody past? Or is the would-be killer someone close to Macey’s heart?
At a glittering party of Kentucky’s movers and shakers, Macey is drawn, against her better judgment, to Teague Windham, a fiery executive with an equally explosive past. Sparks fly, but when Macey discovers he heads a company infamous for cruel animal experiments, her attraction turns to fury. As a fierce activist, she vows to take him—and his lab—down.
The violence escalates when her friend Bobbi Jo slips Macey chilling evidence: Teague’s shadowy past is littered with the broken bodies of dead women. Moments later, Bobbi Jo is murdered. Macey flees the grisly crime scene, clinging to a mysterious biker—and owing him a favor. Pharaoh is a brutal yet charismatic biker king who lays claim to everything he sees…including Macey.
Before Pharaoh can call in his marker, a new player gatecrashes the game with high stakes of his own. Malik appears to be a handsome, mild-mannered researcher who shares Macey’s passion for animal activism—but he’s the mirror image of Pharaoh. What’s the connection between Pharaoh, who thrives on the knife-edge of danger, and Malik, an academic whose worst worry is a papercut? And why are they both so fixated on Macey?
With a freak tornado raging around her and a killer closing in, Macey must figure out who wants her dead—before they succeed. Her crime-fighting cat Wikket, rescued from a research lab, has hidden talents. But even with the brave feline’s special brand of die-hard backup, will she unmask the killer in time?
