Publisher's Synopsis
Dominic Laveaux uses fear to rule his territory with an iron fist. All he wanted to do was make his own money away from his missing father's shadow but that seems to be hard to do with the events that follow after V's- his father's- disappearing act. After his secret formula is stolen from his crack house and is handed over to the competition, Dom is forced to search high and low for the thief, and uses leverage to do so. A young and reserved woman. Caine. Caine Taylor only thought that keeping her head bowed, moving in silence and avoiding eye contact- as she was taught by her mother- would benefit her non-existent life. However, she was in for the surprise of a lifetime when being introduced to a young savage. Dom. Her silence wasn't what he wanted. He brought her into a drug war, chaos, bloodshed and life when she thought that she could avoid all of it by sticking herself inside her shell. Contrary to her silent and closed in performance, Caine knows more than what she utters from time to time. Is she only pulling his leg for her own benefit? Her mother- Christy- was a former lab rat and a thief who managed to leave her 16 year old daughter behind because Christy pointed enemies right at Dom, and hauled ass before anything happened to her. But what would become of her kid? Dom himself tries to get as much information out of Caine before his arch nemesis can get his hands on the pure gem that is Caine herself, but has to battle it out before that happens. With his missing father's hustle on his back, his own employees under control, federal agents beating down his door and his uncle Odin waiting for him to fail, he has no choice but to rely on terrified Caine for what she's seen, heard and what little information she can recall before his formula was stolen, to help point out all of the snakes lurking in the bush. However, some snakes are closer than he thinks in this blinding urban thriller, and it will take Dom to help Caine overcome her fear in order to save, not only his life, but his business altogether, and to help keep him free of any undercover agents that have mingled with the enemy. Was Christy really the person to snitch Dom out to the cops when Caine recalls what happened before everything went array for Dom? Or was it Caine by accident? Could it had been his best friend Saleem to bring the agents to his doorstep over greed and jealousy? Was it his own father before he vanished, just to make things harder for him? What about his lover Kita who could never get the same love in return? Or, lastly, the coward and envious uncle that wanted all of what Dom and V worked so hard far? Turn to page two and begin this urban thriller that possesses all of the sins of the Ten Commandments accept four, and find out just exactly who the snitch is and why it was that they did it.
