A former assassin walks into a bar with five werewolves and a murder goose...
Chloe West has been "asleep" for the last ten years. Now, she's awake, on a vengeance mission, and trying to drown out the screams in her head in a roadside bar on the way to Castlemaine.
There's one more name on her list. Tomorrow, she's going to take out the man who taught her to kill.
But for now... Chloe's almost blackout drunk, stuck in a bar in the middle of a storm, bonding with a traumatised bartender and trying to avoid the attention of the five werewolves in a back booth.
This is the story of the fateful day when Chloe met Dwayne.
Content note: no explicit references, but there are mentions of SA, and some references to CSA. Some violent scenes and coarse language.
