Her mother holds the secrets to a miraculous fertility drug coveted by killers. Can Nicky keep her safe? Or is she too close to see the danger?
When a murder victim falls out of a closet at Police Sergeant Nicky Matthews’ feet, her investigation leads her to a powerful tribal fertility medicine. What Nicky keeps secret is this medicine was once at the center of her father’s scientific research. He’d isolated the single most-important compound in a fertility treatment worth a fortune ... and one worth killing for. But when her father died, the identity and location of the plant that produced this compound was lost.

Or was it? Nicky’s estranged mother may hold the key to the plant’s rediscovery. Nicky insists she stay away because her mother is a target. Instead, she barges back into her daughter’s life, determined to help Nicky solve the murder, and heal their contentious relationship. But her mother’s return is the opening the killers need—and their fatal mistake.
