Iron Goddess: A Shea Stevens Thriller
by Dharma KelleherIn this gritty, fast-paced debut thriller, an ex-con biker chick turned law-abiding citizen risks everything to save her new life--and confront the demons of her past. Shea Stevens is biker royalty. Her father was the president of the Confederate Thunder Motorcycle Club. Under his watchful eye, she learned how to pick locks, disable alarms, and hot-wire cars like a pro. But all that is ancient history. Or so she thought . . . After a stint in prison, Shea has worked hard to make a quiet, happy life for herself in Arizona. She spends her time bonding with her big-city girlfriend and running her bike shop, Iron Goddess Custom Cycles, with her dedicated team of misfits. But when one of her employees is shot and three of her specially commissioned bikes are stolen, Shea's new life collides with the criminal underworld she tried to leave behind. Shea knows better than to trust the police. So, with her Glock on her hip, she takes the investigation into her own hands. Shea's search for the bike thieves leads her straight to her father's old gang--and her estranged sister, whose young daughter has been kidnapped by a rival club. The last thing Shea wants is to be caught in the middle of a war--but if she learned one thing from her old man, it's that when someone comes at you, you push back. Hard. And that's exactly what she's going to do.

His hired killers are credited with many of the murders and beheadings of the fifteen thousand people who have died in the cartel wars along the border in recent years.
