Publisher's Synopsis
Everett Baptiste Wolfkill, Rett to his friends family, and teammates, is almost on his way home. Just another twenty-four hours and he'll be reunited with his two brothers. Waking up to find blood on his hands and a dead woman wasn't the way he hoped to start his day. In the middle of Venezuelan cartel territory, he has no choice but to run. Weeks of hiding, begging for and stealing food, until he finally finds himself in New Orleans. He's so close to home, he can smell it. But with no transportation, no phone, and unwilling to risk the lives of anyone around him, he's forced to take the generous offer of a beautiful woman. When that action puts her in danger, Rett must find a way home on foot, and find out why the cartel is after him.
Casey Islip is just getting over the death of her father, working as a chef at the hottest New Orleans restaurant. Seeing a strange man outside her apartment, she almost calls for help. Almost. He just seems genuine. Hungry, bloody, and thirty, she allows him into her apartment. After speaking to him for only a few moments, she feels certain that she's made the right decision. When his presence places her in harm, her friends from Gray Wolf Security take her to a safe place, that just happens to have her dark stranger there as well.
