INSIDE THE WORLD OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS—
AND MURDER...

Angel Dare went into Witness Protection to escape her past—not as a porn star, but as a killer who took down the sex slavery ring that destroyed her life. But sometimes the past just won’t stay buried. When a former co-star is murdered, it’s up to Angel to get his son, a hotheaded MMA fighter, safely through the unforgiving Arizona desert, shady Mexican bordertowns, and the seductive neon mirage of Las Vegas...

  • First publication ever!
  • Featuring Angel Dare, star of Faust’s Edgar Award-nominated MONEY SHOT
