Destiny Donne has chosen the sticks of central Florida to build her practice in veterinary medicine and work in the exciting Lion Country Safari. But despite her love for the animals, the rural life is unexpectedly lonely, and when Tom, a blue-eyed knock-out, offers the lure of skydiving and sex beyond her dreams, Destiny’s goals of a lifetime begin to slip away. A formidable ex-wife, illegal lion cubs, and murderous plans are not enough to shake her addiction to the adrenaline rushes that Tom provides, and she is forced to make desperate moves as she tailspins downward.
