Ultimate Prey — Kristine Mason

When the hunter becomes the hunted…who will become the ultimate prey? CORE agent Lola Tam has two things on her mind, quitting her job as a criminal investigator and baking a frozen pie for Thanksgiving dinner without burning it. But a midnight call forces a change of plans. Her boss and future stepfather, Ian Scott, has been kidnapped from his Florida vacation rental -- along with her mother. The kidnapper's plan? Drop Ian and her mom in the Everglades and hunt them like animals. Terrified for her mom, Lola takes the bait and travels to Everglade City, Florida where she's determined to end the hunt before it begins. Ryan Monahan, former Navy SEAL turned airboat captain is used to taking tourists through the Everglades, not guiding a sexy agent on a rescue mission. After spending years dealing with a past filled with guilt and regret, he needs a little action and adventure in his life -- he needs to prove he could still be a hero. What he doesn't need? Falling for a woman he has no business wanting, especially when the hunt takes a deadly turn…
