Running on Vengeance (Macey Malloy Mysteries)

By Jada Ryker

Macey Malloy, CEO of Red Roots Security, is reeling after her assistant, Karson Barley, is brutally murdered. Their connection ran deeper than business-when they were children, Macey's Twisted Sisters marked him as a target, carving the sigil of their identical-twin cult, the Mirrored Athame, into his chest.

Now Karson is dead-and he was closing in on the truth.

To find his killer, Macey goes undercover, posing as a party girl chasing her next rave. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the game becomes. Is the murderer a cult disciple? A wealthy insider hiding in plain sight in the gated Cedar Creek Enclave? Or someone from Boar Hollow ready to tear down the wall between the haves and the have-nots?

Trigg Maddox, a local farmer with a score to settle, catches Macey sneaking in and out of the Enclave-and blackmails his way into her investigation. He's hunting the man who stole his family's land. He wants it back. And he wants blood.

Templin Brock, head of rival Brock Hawk Security, is as dangerous as he is magnetic. When he catches Macey digging into his client's secrets, he offers her a way into the Enclave's dark underbelly. But Macey doesn't know if he's helping her...or setting her up to fall.

And then there's her ex-fianc . The man who manipulated her, betrayed her, and nearly destroyed her life is back-claiming he's changed. Macey knows better. But Jeremy has a habit of showing up exactly where he shouldn't be...including just before Karson's murder. Would her ex go so far as to kill someone Macey cares about-just to get close to her?

As the investigation spirals, Macey uncovers a terrifying possibility: the Mirrored Athame isn't gone.

It's evolving.

And this time, Macey isn't just hunting a killer-

She's the target.

SPECIAL BONUS: As a reader appreciation gift, Cat's in the Cradle Under a Silver Moon is included FREE at the end of the book. The story takes place immediately after Running on Vengeance, the seventh book in the Macey Malloy series.

Macey Malloy must find a missing baby. She has zero time for complications-especially the intense man from her past and his accusation that she stole his memories. Alejandro crashes her investigation, even as her new boyfriend asks questions she can't answer. With tempers flaring and secrets unraveling, Macey must outpace both a kidnapper and the truth. Because if either catches her first, everything she's built will go up in flames.
