Ember Clarke is a nimble killer-for-hire. She only accepts jobs to snuff out dirtbags who deserve it, like the serial rapist currently in her crosshairs; the latest of her contracts. But when a rival Club hitman shows up to steal the contract - and put a knife in her back - she has no choice but to add another stiff to her body count. But she quickly learns that the Club will not tolerate killing another member, even in self defense.

While nursing some drinks after a terrible day at work, Tucker Candle spits out his rum and coke when a stranger across the bar turns water into wine. This stranger has a warning for Candle: skip your planned business trip tomorrow. With a clear head the next morning, Candle resumes his normal life. But when Candle comes back from his trip to find his pregnant wife missing and a dead man's blood seeping into his bathroom floor, the washed-up weirdo's counsel doesn't seem so foreign now.

Virginia Candle married the wrong man. She's known that for years. But when she finds out what her husband's company actually does to make their money, it's going to be a lot murkier than separating from a bad life partner. When the company fires her husband, they're not sending him off with a severance check. He'll get a bullet in the head, plus one for her and their son Tucker. She can either lie down and die, or take action to stop it.

Candle thought it was over. Back to the status quo. That's why, when a letter appears in his mailbox from someone he thought was dead, he's dragged back into the middle of the whole mess. He'll have to scurry down to Texas to save the life of a man he doesn't even know, because if he doesn't, his wife and unborn child will again become targets.

A month ago, the stranger at the bar warned Candle that involving himself in the company's dealings was going to lead him on the path to ruin. Only now does Candle understand the depth of that statement. For every move he makes to uncover the truth, the company counters. They spread lies and send men to kill him. They target his family and try to frame him for murder. This company harbors a terrible secret, and they'll commit heinous acts to keep it under wraps.

This box set contains all three novellas in the Tucker Candle trilogy: Wounded Animals, The Legend of Kareem, and Both Ends Burning.
