Mercenaries. Outcasts. Alphas.
Knox knows all the five of them have left now is each other. That, and the driving desire to find who had slaughtered their pack and make that person pay.
But investigating a tragedy with only rubble as evidence requires money and time. Knox can find one and use it to buy the other. They may be the last remaining members of a once thriving pack, but they are no strangers to taking the types of jobs that would keep lesser men awake at night.
Finding and returning some young punk to his rich, asshole father shouldn’t be all that difficult.
Jazz Whitten lives as he likes, always. Since leaving home when he was young, he’s operated under a single rule, never stay where you aren’t wanted. Using his unique ability and the sleight of hand he’s perfected over the years, life as a fugitive isn’t that bad. It’s lonely at times, but freedom is more important than companionship.
But when Jazz comes head to head with the latest team hired by his father, he forgets his own rule. He knows it is money, not affection that keeps the team on his tail. Their leader, Knox, is merciless and focused, but there’s something else about the man. It isn’t his kindness—Knox is a brute and unfortunately for Jazz, he’s smart too—but Knox radiates a type of pain that Jazz is all too familiar with.
Jazz is as slippery as he is sexy and it takes every trick Knox has to catch up with him. But when he does, how will the stone-cold mercenary ever give him up?

REVIEW:
Well, I gotta say, this took one heck of a turn I was not expecting and I love it. A new element has now been added and I can’t wait to see how it turns out for the rest of the guys. It’s already going to be interesting as for what is happening in this book while they are working on other things.
Jazz has been on the run for at least 10 years. He has no idea why his father hates him so bad and how he can do the tricks he does, but he just accepts it and tries to stay under the radar. But since he turned 18, he’s being hunted by all kinds by his father for reasons he has yet to figure out. When Knox and his crew finally actually get their hands on Jazz, little things are starting to not add up for Knox and Jazz is helping them see things they didn’t see before with the loss of their lands and their packs. Something severely evil is out there hunting them all. Jazz and those like him especially. But what Jazz really is, no one expected. And now they know they have to go all in to make sure he’s protected and save others like him. But can they do it and still find out why they had to lose all they did or will things just be too much and cause things to finally snap?
When I read about Jazz at the end of the Walker County series, I was really intrigued. He just has this personality, when he’s allowed to be himself, that is just snarky but fun and full of life. And for the life of me, I couldn’t figure why someone would want to destroy that so bad. I know Knox and his crew had a hard time at first with Jazz, but that was because of their own backgrounds and what happened to them. So for them, I could understand. But it’s more than that. Jazz just has that ability to make you feel better and for these 5 broken men, it’s really what they needed, if they could just relax a bit. But with what keeps coming at them, it’s a little hard and I get that. But seeing Knox and Jazz finally break down and acknowledge what was between them, became the start of a healing process all 5 needed and didn’t know it. And in the most unexpected way. So while they are in the thick of things that are evil, there is still good going on and healing. And a chance at a new start at life with new friends and family.
I can’t wait to see Faust’s story, but I want Diesel more than anyone. He’s story is heartbreaking and I want his happy ending. I want him happy and not so grief stricken anymore. This is going to be one heck of a series. I can see it now.
