Jenna Alton is an FBI agent who will stop at nothing to put those who hurt the innocent behind bars. An addictive short-read origin story about how she became Black Rock Falls' most loved Sheriff.

Jenna has been working undercover for four years and now she's ready to take down the most dangerous man she's ever met-her husband, Michael.

Pulling shopping bags out of the back of her car, Jenna scans the house for Michael but he's nowhere to be seen. Stepping into the marble hallway, she sighs with relief at the thought of just one more night here. But first, she must survive the most high-stakes night of her career: Michael is planning something deadly behind closed doors, and Jenna must find a place to hide where she can listen to every word - then, she must run for her life.

But as night falls and the guests arrive, Jenna sees a distressed young girl being dragged into the house, and she knows she can't leave an innocent soul behind.

Staying will risk the case Jenna's already sacrificed so much for, but innocent lives will be lost if she doesn't bring this twisted monster down. With the clock ticking, can Jenna save the girl and make it out alive?

An absolutely unputdownable short crime thriller from USA Today bestselling author D.K. Hood. If you're a fan of Lisa Regan, Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot, you will love this gripping read.
