Tiger's nerves were on edge, but the plan was simple, though dicey. Just intercept the hired assassin and stop him, she reminded herself. What could go wrong? Keeper's worst fears were realized when Tiger was shot; he was unable to adequately protect her. His parent's murderer was on the run, sought for attempting to kill him and now Tiger, but there were rumors of new contracts whispered about. Keeper was running out of time. Changes were necessary to ensure the safety of the homeless that looked to him for their security, and to give Tiger a future if the worst happened.The day after Tiger's release from the hospital, Keeper and Tiger secretly eloped. Together, joined in mind and spirit like never before, gambling everything they had, they combined their efforts to unravel the department store's secrets and uncover Hammersmith's deeper, darker motives.Keeper had to lure Hammersmith to act once more, only this time in front of witnesses. And once more, he had to put his life in Tiger's hands and hope he could survive another trap...

Tiger's tenacity usually got her into trouble, but nothing like the night she went searching for clues...in the woods...alone... Billy Carson, known as Keeper among the homeless people, trained Billy Mattis to defend herself and nicknamed her Tiger. Their relationship grew closer by the day. She was fired from a prestigious renovation architectural firm for wearing his engagement tattoo, and Keeper wondered about the firm's senior architect, Mike Hammersmith. He also wondered why the unproven murderer of his parents disliked tattoos and what were his intentions, if Keeper's ruse had not been a ruse and he had gained ownership of the mirrored Duckard's department store buildings. Tiger explained his plans were to raze and rebuild the warehouse building and only renovate the department store. While Tiger researched all of the details she could find about Keeper's parent's accident, Keeper investigated the department store, looking for any obvious differences; like the odd, locked extra room in the warehouse basement.Tiger's tenacious efforts led her to a secluded tool shed in a remote corner of Hammersmith's estate. There, hidden away from curious eyes and spared from the ravages of time, she found equipment that could have been used in perpetrating the murders. But searching near the rocky banks of the Chestnut River tributary was risky; Tiger was discovered! The undercurrents of helping Billy suddenly turned deadlier; shots were fired...

Things seldom go as planned, especially when you're chasing a murderer. Billy Carson was a homeless man in Chesterfield. His parents were murdered when his dad would not sell once valuable city properties, the now unused Duckard's department stores, to a noted renovation architect. Billy was fourteen. In the years after, his determination to prove the noted architect murdered them faded with each passing day, until he devised a dangerous ruse to lure the murderer out. Now, he just had to stay focused, undistracted. As Fate would have it, his past unexpectedly interrupted and Billie Mattis, the fiery redhead from his childhood, stood squarely in front of him, suddenly complicating the hell out of...well, everything.
