Shattered Puppet — Ava Catori

Cree Rivers has lived a hard life. After running away from an abusive father, she found herself on the streets with her sister. Prostitution wasn't glamorous, but it kept them fed. She was a realist, this was as good as it got. She didn't expect things to change.



Chasing a lead, Carter Evans found himself face to face with Cree. She's got something he needs. He'll do whatever it took to get it, even if that meant cheating, lying or stealing.



When they become entangled things get complicated. Can Cree trust the man that's desperate for information? Can Carter get what he needs before his world topples?
