Buckshot's Hunt

He tracks men through Alabama backwoods with hunter's patience and lethal precision. She's been chasing dangerous skips for six years. When a drug empire marks her for death, only an outlaw tracker can deliver the justice the law won't touch.

Valentina Medina built her bail enforcement business from ashes after her father's shop was torched by a skip with dangerous connections. Six years tracking fugitives through the Black Belt taught her to trust her instincts and her Glock equally. When a routine skip leads her to a farmhouse full of bodies and product, she stumbles into Ray Dutton's drug operation—and gets a photo of her license plate with a promise: mind your business or join him.

Val doesn't scare easy. But four-on-one odds in a Selma alley change everything.

Kevin "Buckshot" Mitchell is the Crimson Kings' deadliest hunter—former guide who tracks humans like game across territory he knows like his own heartbeat. He's been waiting for a chance to destroy men like Ray Dutton ever since fentanyl-laced pills killed his sister while he was in the woods instead of watching over her. When the Duttons push poison into club territory, Buckshot volunteers for the hunt. One look at Val fighting four men with nothing but courage and a nine-millimeter, and Buckshot knows—she's his.

But claiming the bounty hunter means war with Alabama's most dangerous drug family—three generations of contraband runners, corrupt deputies, and enforcers who've made problems disappear for thirty years. Buckshot doesn't care. He'll bury every one of them in Alabama clay before letting anyone touch his woman.

Val never wanted an outlaw's protection. But when Buckshot's possessive claiming makes her feel powerful instead of possessed, when his brutal violence eliminates the men who threatened her life, when she fights beside his brotherhood and he loves her fiercer for it—she chooses the dangerous hunter over standing alone.

Together they'll track the Duttons through backroads and ambushes, defend the compound against a small army, and prove that some prey should never have become predators.

He'll hunt her enemies with patient precision and explosive violence. She'll stand beside him and fight. Some claiming is forged in gunfire and sealed in blood.
