Sloane Mercer formerly commanded the criminal underworld of South Sector with an iron hand, keeping undercover operative Reid Hale as his personal plaything. Now the tables have turned: Sloane sits shackled inside high-security Stonepeak Prison, where Reid commands the guard towers and Sloane's rare rabbit physiology enters an excruciating, helpless heat cycle.
Reid interrogates his former captor for classified coordinates of an illegal laboratory, yet he cannot ignore the frantic biological pull drawing them together. When an escape attempt triggers alarms, Sloane realizes rival syndicates have infiltrated the perimeter to assassinate him, meaning Reid's harsh fortress might be his only shelter. Caught between lingering resentment and undeniable desire, they navigate lethal loyalties where trust costs everything.
