When missing turns to murdered, one woman's search for answers will take her to a place she never wanted to go…

After searching for her sister for two long years, Kate Gallagher is devastated when she’s called to the morgue to identify Chrissy’s body, the runaway teen the victim of a brutal attack. Guilt and grief send Kate into a tailspin. She failed Chrissy once…she won’t do it again. Even if finding her sister’s killer means following a lethal bounty hunter into the heart of darkness, placing both their lives in danger.


Working at Maximum Security has taken Jason Maddox down some dangerous paths, but never for a client he’s so drawn to, or for a case so monstrous. As clues lead them deeper into the city’s underbelly, connections to human trafficking draw them closer and closer to peril, but even Jase’s warnings can’t convince Kate to walk away. As the deadly operation puts a target on their backs, they’ll have to decide what matters most: the truth…or their lives.

Kate's sister went missing two years ago and is finally found but unfortunately shes dead. Now shes on a mission to find her sisters killer and bring justice to him. Not feeling like the police are doing enough she comes across Jason Maddox who is a bounty hunter who is known for getting the job done. As they find her sisters killer they end up coming across a trafficking ring as well as so much more then they planned but Kate is willing to risk everything.

Wow this book was something! First off want to point out that I did receive a copy of this book for my honest review and I will tell you now that I loved it. There was so much going on for it. I'm not much into books that involve trafficking and all the works but I just couldn't put this book down. I loved how loyal Kate was, she didn't accept no for an answer and make sure she was an active participant in finding out what happens to her and making sure it doesn't happen to others. Then there was clearly going to be a bit of romance between the characters and a bit of baggage. I mean Jason works a high risk job and after what Kate has gone though with her sister he didn't want to take the chance that if something were to happen to him then Kate would have to deal with the grief of loosing yet another person she cares about. I loved seeing how the investigation played out and overall this book was really good I really enjoyed it!
