About this ebook

Her niece is kidnapped… and the clock is ticking...

Eight years after getting out of prison, Shea Stevens has put her criminal past and her outlaw biker family in her rearview. She’s proud of the custom motorcycles business she’s built and of her relationship with a girlfriend who adores her.

But when her eight-year-old niece is kidnapped, Shea's deep distrust of the police pulls her back into rural Arizona’s criminal underground. No matter the cost, she’s determined to save the girl and rain hell on those who took her.

Shea forges an uneasy alliance with her family’s drug-dealing biker gang. But as they search for the missing girl, Shea once again witnesses the violence from her childhood. Brutal nightmares she’s worked hard to forget. And unless Shea acts quickly, history is likely to repeat itself.

Through a series of high-speed chases, shootouts, desperate bargains, betrayals, and narrow escapes, Shea risks everything to rescue her niece. All while confronting her family’s darkest secrets as well as her own misdeeds.

Will Shea save the girl in time? And what will her loyalty cost her and the people she loves?

In her debut novel, author Dharma Kelleher delivers a groundbreaking thriller that fans of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo and Sons of Anarchy will adore.

Curl up with Iron Goddess and join Shea as she races to save the girl in this white-knuckle, full-throttle, thrill-a-minute adventure through the seedy side of Arizona's high desert that will touch your soul and keep you turning the pages into the wee hours.

“Shea Stevens is absolutely one of the more original crime fiction heroes to come along since Lisbeth Salander.”

Ratings and reviews

I enjoyed this book it's edgy it's a lgbtq version of son of anarchy which did impact author when she wrote it the main character is fierce she's not perfect she's very flawed and if you can watch son of anarchy then you can definitely read this book very realistic there is grit there is murder there's talks of gangs and drugs and there is a harm of a child but not rape kidnapping of a child like I said there is murder so it's on the line of son of anarchy's violence so if you can watch that then you can definitely read this book but the characters lead off the page they speak for themselves I feel like I'm watching the TV show to be honest with you as soon as the opening page begins you never take the foot off the bike it's just goes so I enjoyed this very much and I look forward to reading the rest of this the series and I hopefully look forward to more like book five if that happens.

Good read. lots of action.
