Hunting Adeline
Cat and Mouse Duet, Book 2
H.D. Carlton
Zade goes hunting for the woman who was taken from him, and the fallout doesn't let either of them off easy. Rescue is the easy part. What comes after isn't.
Relentless early, then it shifts — recovery and reconnection take over once the chase ends.

This book is great for
For readers who finished the first book and needed to know she survives becoming something else entirely. This one puts her in a cage most heroines don't come back from — and she comes back sharper.
- true crime devotees who've thought hard about what survival actually costs
- wants their heroine cunning, not just resilient
- finished book one wanting Zade feral, not domesticated
- reads "angel of death" as a compliment, not a warning
