"In an unforgettable portrait of Southern scheming, greed, and brutality a high-end criminal turned suburban
mom in hiding must fight against the dangerous fallout from her corrupt past and escape an calculated enemy
hell-bent on revenge.
She was once the best luxury car thief in the game. But Ava Frost paid a high price when her children were
stolen. Forced to confront her ruthless ex-boss, Nick, she uncovered his devious silent partner in the kidnapping:
her seemingly loving, seemingly wealthy husband, Kevin. Now Ava is making a new life with her children several
states away from her former suburban life. She's also struggling to help her young son heal from their traumatic
ordeal. So, when her soon-to-be ex-husband pressures her to return his part of the ransom, Ava pushes back
. . . hard.
Along with a secret life insurance policy Kevin took out on her, Ava soon realizes she's worth way more to him
dead than alive. And when she learns he's set Nick's vengeful sister and her murderous gangster husband on
her trail, she must go up against an overwhelming enemy who will never stop hunting her—or her kids . . .
Fighting may be your last move . . .
Now with the odds against her and time running out, Ava must marshal all her resources and formidable skills
to defend everything she's fought to save. But when one last dangerous twist causes her plans to irrevocably
crash-and-burn, she'll battle tooth and claw to put her pursuers on the run—straight into a trap so treacherous
even she may have no chance to survive . . ."
