About this ebook

A deadly storm. A vengeful grudge. A locked-down high-rise.


Jake Parkin thought his days of chasing danger ended when the Virginia Beach police department forced him into retirement. Now head of security for an upscale oceanfront high-rise, Jake takes his duty seriously—especially when a monstrous hurricane barrels toward the coast. While others evacuate, he stays behind to protect the tenants who can’t—or won’t—leave.



But the storm isn’t the only threat closing in.



Under cover of wind and rain, a ruthless crew led by Maxwell Kane infiltrates the building to rob the penthouse. But Kane isn’t just after treasure—he holds a personal grudge against Jake, and he’s out for blood. When Anna—Jake’s teammate on a local fastpitch softball team—becomes a pawn in Kane’s twisted revenge, Jake is forced into a brutal, high-stakes game of survival.



Trapped and outnumbered, Jake must use every ounce of his training, grit, and resolve to protect the innocent, outsmart a vengeful enemy, and survive the longest night of his life.



If you like resourceful heroes, claustrophobic tension, and action that never lets up, then you’ll love this heart-pounding, cinematic thrill ride. Buy Fastpitch today to experience a relentless battle for justice, survival—and redemption.
