           ​She thought she was safe ​… but even a continent away is not far enough to hide her from her enemies. ​Will she be able to evade a killer’s search?
         ​Lizzy is on the run after her fatal game of rock-paper-scissors with those behind the Vivantem fertility clinic’s nefarious experiments. She finds herself in the Red Rock Country of Arizona … and finds a mentor in a man with his own dark past.
         ​While Lizzy works to control her deadly ability, the Vivantem forces are hot on her trail, and Lizzy's power will be no defense against the weapon they have chosen.

         ​In this deadly game of snakes and ladders, will Lizzy be rewarded for her virtues or punished for her vices?
         ​Find out now in this second installment of the Lizzy Ballard Thrillers Trilogy!
