MasukHarley Gibson is a strictly by-the-book homicide detective with an impressive conviction rate. She is also living a dangerous double life. In the human world, she is respected for her skill at always getting her perp. However, in her native werewolf world, she is on the run, being hunted by the Lycan king, who also happens to be her sperm donor. To Lycan Ian Steel, his only daughter is only a means to an end. Harley doesn't know, but she was destined from birth to become one of the highly sought guardians of Sauther Lake. Ian always had. He killed his mate, Harley's mother, to keep her from taking their daughter back to the lake, where she would be protected from him turning her into his assassin. With divine intervention, Harley escaped Ian's pack. For a while, she stayed under her father's radar by changing her last name and never staying in one place for too long. She became too comfortable in LA after being promoted to homicide detective at the prestigious Santa Monica Police Department. After years of searching for his wayward daughter, Ian finally finds her and pulls out his big gun. Bounty hunter Nicholas Reins is to bring her back. Ian uses his mafia ties to get Nick into the police department under the ruse that he is an FBI agent sent to help Harley solve a high-profile murder case, making national news. Only Ian doesn't know that he also has ties to the syndicate committing the string of murders his daughter is investigating. Nick may be a ruthless huntsman, but the Lycan Princess will soon show him she isn't his usual bounty. Together, they will uncover the truth about her past, their future, solve the 'Anacapa Island' murders, and take down two of the mafia's bosses.

There's no doubt, I stand behind Nick one hundred percent on that. Harley doesn't deserve any of this. From day one, her only crime was being born as she was. Who among us can change what the creator makes us to be?! Even worse, her own father had caused her suffering. If Ian hadn't been the devil himself, Harley wouldn't even be here in the human world; she should be at home in her pack, where she would be protected and respected as the Lycan Alpha female that she is. My heart breaks for my sister. I blink back tears and take her hand into mine. Back then, I did all I could to protect her from him, but hell, I was just a kid myself. My phone starts to ring, and I use my other hand to take it from my pocket. It's Nick. "What's going on with ya, jailbird?" "Very fucking funny, Kyle! Is Harley aw
Nick~ My wolf growls, and my hands scrub over my face as I scan the documents. I see the phrases, factors determining the charge, reasonableness of force, intent, and malice, and my personal favorite, voluntary manslaughter. "Have you seen Kyle?" "Yes, he told me to tell you he is with Harley." My heart hammered in my chest, and I rose from my chair and walked further across the table. "How is she?" "She is conscious, alert, and stable right now. You need to focus on your situation, Nick. There are going to be some tough questions thrown your way, and you need to have some suitable answers." "Captain Howard has already been here. He tells me they are still searching for Steve, and I am confident they will find him. Case solved!" Seth shook his head at me and raised his hands. "I strongly suggest you have no more conversations with Capt. Howard or any other police official. Things are very different here from where you come from." "I trust Howard, and I'm seeing that." I
Nick~ 'Nick, we gotta get out of here!' 'Zeek, not even you can get us out of here.' There's nothing left to do but pace the floor, and I do for a long while. If the cops were aiming to create an atmosphere that would deter a return, they hit the mark. I'm sure as hell not coming back! The three walls surrounding me are charcoal grey center blocks in need of a paint job. The only distraction from their mind-numbing symmetry is a notice of the House Rules. 'So that's it, you're giving up, you're gonna live by their rules?' 'No, Kyle will help us, and I have murdered no one. The captain is right. Belinda will discover how Steve died.' I stopped pacing at my barred front door, which has so many coats of paint the bars can't decide what color they aspire to be. But provided the comfort of knowing you're safe. A look across the hall at the empty cell has me counting my blessings. It has two sets of bunk beds along the walls; that's four hairy asses and eight sweaty balls too
Nick~ The only positive thing about being in police custody is that the press is kept at bay as the officers get me out of the car. The door behind me closes, and I'm led into a part of the station I've never seen before. Inside, three cops surround me as they rotate the cuffs from my back to the front. I'm instructed to sit on the wall and keep my mouth shut. Once it's my turn in Central Booking, they empty my pockets at the desk. The deputy hands me a pencil to sign the form as he places my belongings into a folder and seals it. Then, I am fingerprinted and taken to yet another unknown part of the department, where Captain Howard is waiting, and he shakes his head at me. "Is this what you meant by a shitshow, Captain?" Howard takes a deep breath and shoves his hands in his pockets. "Nick, I'm going to be honest; it doesn't look good. Seeing as how there is no body, dead or alive, to back up your claim, and the DA has two eyewitnesses claiming you threatened to kill him."
