For twenty-six years, Kaitlyn Scott has blamed her temper on bad blood. She blamed the father she cut off and the mother who numbs the past with cheap whisky and cigarettes. It’s how she explains why street dogs slink away when she walks past, why the air turns razor-sharp when she’s cornered, and how she can hear a man’s pulse stutter half a second before he decides to lie.
When she lands a high-paying corporate role navigating the shark tanks of Sandton, her hidden senses turn out to be lethal boardroom weapons. That’s where she meets Darryl. Smooth, immaculately composed, and entirely without an internet footprint, Darryl is a complete blank. Kaitlyn has spent her whole life reading every heartbeat and nervous sweat in a room, but Darryl gives off no scent, no tell, and no fear. The not-knowing feels intoxicating, until she realizes that his gentle patience isn’t romance. It’s a method. Because the fury coiled behind Kaitlyn’s ribs isn’t trauma. It’s an inheritance: an ancient leopard-line carried down through generations of Cape women chosen to pay a debt older than the maps.
Somewhere in Johannesburg, something that has been hunting her bloodline for sixty years, has finally picked up her scent. He thinks she’s another frightened girl trapped in the dark. But Kaitlyn is done running from the monster inside her… and she’s ready to let it out.
