Hunting Adeline
Hunting Adeline picks up in the aftermath of Haunting Adeline, and it does not soften. Adeline has fallen into the hands of the very organization Zade Meadows has devoted his life to destroying — a ritualistic network of powerful men who traffic women and children. While Adeline endures captivity, Zade unleashes everything he is to find her.
The novel is split in two: the first half follows the hunt and rescue; the second follows the long, difficult work of recovery, as Zade and Adeline confront what was done to her and turn toward the people responsible. Their bond is tested by trauma, vengeance, and the question of whether either of them can be whole again.
The second and final book of H.D. Carlton's Cat and Mouse Duet, Hunting Adeline is an extremely graphic dark romance that deals explicitly with sexual violence, trafficking, and torture. It should only be read alongside its full content warnings.
Captured by a human-trafficking ring, she transforms from victim into a vengeful force fighting to reclaim her life.
A man devoted to destroying a trafficking organization, unleashing everything he has to find Adeline.
Yes. Hunting Adeline is the second half of the Cat and Mouse Duet and continues directly from the events of Haunting Adeline.
