Publisher's Synopsis
5 Stars from InD'tale Magazine! RONE AWARDS FINALIST
"When the darkness lives inside you...embracing it is the only way out." *** This MEGA NOVEL is not erotic but contains material not suitable for readers under 18 (on page soft love scenes, violence, and intense subject matter).*** This is the second edition. I have made significant changes to the story, most importantly by removing the police brutality aspect. I also softened the love scenes, minimized profanity and deleted plot elements I felt were unnecessary in addition to restructuring certain segments. I'm very pleased with the rewrite. With everything that's going on in our world, I want to paint a positive light on law enforcement and the citizens who work with them against evil. This novel has a conclusive ending. No cliffhanger. Introduction: Terror rages on the streets of darkness in this gritty story of a street gang and a group of deranged militants. And a courageous woman emerges from her sheltered life to soar with heroes. Respected for their non-violent nature and generous work with troubled youth and the homeless, the Ricochet gang is forced into a war they don't want when a delusional soldier marches into their territory looking for trouble. When Camille escapes her ex-boyfriend during a car chase on Suicide Bend and ends up at a wrong address, the middle-age beauty and notorious street gang Ricochet discover they have a common enemy-a crazed GI named Mason determined to take back his woman at any cost, even if it kills them all. In their quest for vengeance, Ricochet's leaders end up fighting a ring of corruption that goes deeper than anyone realized. Rebar's feelings for their unexpected hostage complicate matters. He doesn't like holding her captive yet doesn't want to lose her. Camille agrees to help Ricochet obtain justice. She feels safer within their ranks, as Mason is off the rails and stalking her. Rebar plays a key factor in her cooperation as she discovers he's strong without the crazy. Rebar's gentle yet daring nature thrills her in a new way, making her want to explore her undeniable attraction to him. Murder, lies and betrayal redefine the laws of redemption, even for heroes. As a street gang goes up against a group of subversive terrorists, will perfect strangers become more? Corruption sparked by her ex-boyfriend's indiscretions ricochets down the line, dragging Camille through hell-literally. As Camille is forced through a traumatic ordeal, she rises above a dark past and finds heroes in the most unexpected places. From the ashes of war rises more than an eagle-vengeance is at hand!
And a Goldendoodle named Crosshairs leaps into action to save a life!
