A kid in trouble is my weakness. That's why Tony Martinez, president of the Hombres motorcycle club, hires me to track down a five-year-old Native American girl who's become a pawn in her parents' custody dispute.
Simple, right? Find kid, collect fat fee, and celebrate my superior PI skills with the dangerously sexy MC overlord. Except...Martinez neglected to mention a few crucial details. Like the girl's father is the foreman on the controversial new Indian casino under construction, and the girl's mother works at a rival Deadwood gaming hall run by an East Coast crime family.
After bullets start whizzing at me, I'm in Martinez's face, demanding answers. Turns out plenty of people are determined to stop the casino from opening, including competitors, local ranchers, and a Lakota holy group.
As the violence escalates and the bodies pile up, everything around me begins to tumble like a house of cards. My search for a missing girl puts me on the wrong side of tribal politics and at odds with everyone--Kevin, Martinez, and even my father.
In a fight for my life after I attract the killer's attention, I realize no place is safe...not even hallowed ground.
