When secrets are the only thing keeping you alive, how can you trust anyone with the truth?
Protecting the clueless public while keeping the existence of his monster hunting Company on the down-low is Ridge Prescott’s jam.
Associating with civilians, not so much. Until taking out a bloodthirsty ghoul ends in accidentally tag-teaming with the grumpiest woman he’s ever rescued. For the first time, McKenna Cabello has him thinking about hands-on civilian research. Good thing, since A) she doesn’t know jack about monsters, and B) she’s still hell bent on finding a couple of street kids under her protection who’ve gone missing.
Her record says she’s the Enforcer for the most brutal gun runner in the Gulf, and according to Company code, Ridge must turn her in. But the more time they spend together searching for the teens, the harder it is to believe she’s a criminal. Ridge can spot a secret a mile away though, and McKenna is hiding something major. Company Rule Number One is never have someone at your back that you can’t trust.
Time is running out and unless he can rewrite the rules, Galveston will drown under a wave of monsters, McKenna and the kids their first victims.
