Today I learned that the only thing worse than getting caught midway through an assassination attempt... is finding out that you're scent-matched to your captors. Oops.My name is Jez. I'm a shadow. A girl who doesn't exist. No home. No last name. No identification papers. I haunt the streets like a ghost, silently doling out the kind of vigilante justice I never received for myself, as a survivor of human trafficking.Matthew 'Knox' Knockley was supposed to be my highest value target ever. Society knows him as a rich and successful businessman. My client knows him as the ruthless trafficker responsible for the disappearance of his eleven-year-old sister, along with hundreds of other innocent victims.When Knox's packmates burst into his penthouse suite to find me standing over his convulsing body with an empty syringe, they don't care that we're scent-matched. Now, I'm their prisoner. Heath, Knox's right-hand man, looks at me with murder in his forest-green eyes. Gage, the terrifying mountain of a bodyguard, seems willing to listen to my side of the story-but not to let me go. And worst of all, the sweet beta best friend I betrayed and abandoned months ago is now working for them. Does he even know what he's become a part of?If my client was telling the truth, I've fallen into the hands of monsters for the second time in my life. If Knox's pack is telling the truth, I may have killed one of my fated pack as part of a frame-job.I'm stuck in limbo like Shrödinger's Girl, but either way, I'm screwed. While Knox fights for his life in the hospital, the power players in Chicago's seedy underworld are locked in a struggle for control of the lucrative slave trade. And somehow, I've ended up at the center of the turf war.There are some mistakes you can't come back from.I should know. I've just made one of them.-o-o-o-Knot Your Victim is a 130,000-word non-shifter standalone novel with induced heats, an accidental mating bite, and MF and MM within a pack setting. While loosely connected to the Knot Playing Fair duet, it isn't necessary to read those books first.
