One girl, one undercover cop, one dangerous gang…
Thirteen-year-old Katrina is desperate for an adventure, something to numb her pain and loneliness. When Shrug, a giant biker from The Traz gang, asks if she wants a ride, she makes a reckless, life-changing decision.
Vulnerable and grieving, Katrina becomes a target for the gang’s abuse—and there’s no way to escape. Until she meets Chad, an undercover cop with rich brown eyes, a gentle chuckle and a plan to rescue her.
Only one problem. Someone is keeping dangerous secrets from them both.
