Running the Devil's Game

By Jada Ryker

Macey Malloy has survived cults, killers, and conspiracies. Falling for the wrong man might be the most dangerous mistake of all.

When a mysterious mercenary known only as Ash abducts Macey to save her life, he launches a twisted game with impossible rules. Every clue is a challenge. Every move is a test. And every answer pushes her closer to the truth Ash refuses to reveal.

At the same time, brilliant defense attorney Chase Dunbar keeps appearing whenever she needs him most. He's charming, infuriating, and impossible to read. As Macey's attraction to the lawyer grows, so does her uneasy fascination with the masked soldier of fortune who seems to know her better than anyone should.

Meanwhile, someone wants Macey dead. A trail of sabotage, attempted murder, and old betrayals leads from a remote prison built atop Kentucky's treacherous karst landscape-where the ground itself can swallow the unwary-to a glittering masquerade ball, where everyone wears a mask. If Macey finally rips them away-including the one worn by the man she's falling for-will she survive what she finds underneath?

With her oversized black cat Wikket at her side, Macey must separate truth from manipulation before she loses not only her life but also her heart.

Because in Ash's game, every move matters.

And the final choice may never have been hers to make.
