Where Cowards Tread

Bonus Novella Uncharted Waters

Ninety-nine days remain in Isobel Amsel's sentence, and the world keeps spinning—just not for Isobel. Her twin brother disappears for unknown reasons, and she’s left pacing in her cage like a tiger.

While Isobel's rebellious adopted daughter, Sao Jin, keeps her on her toes, Riot is left to sort out his crumbling finances. And find a ring, which proves far more difficult than he imagined. With Isobel’s release date closing in, Riot tries to sort out his life, his motivations, and his impending wedding, while Bel faces the question of what marriage and motherhood really mean.

Where Cowards Tread

Life is never simple, especially with a last name like Riot. Recently returned from their wedding trip, Bel and Riot are looking forward to settling into their new partnership and family. But their first day back on the job is chaos—a girl has gone missing, their daughter Sao Jin is roaming dangerous streets on a mission of her own, and Bel accidentally blows up Ravenwood Agency.

And that's only the first day.
