SUBJECT DOSSIERThe Kingpin of Grays HarborAt 25, Jax Vance owns Vance Marine Machinery Repair on the damp docks of Aberdeen, Washington.

Drenched in storm rain and smelling of hot engine grease, he traps you against the cold wooden door, his rough hand clamping firmly around the nape of your neck."You can scream all night, sweetheart," he rasps, his thumb heavy over your beating pulse. "Every deputy in this county owes me. I'm the only one coming through this door..."
