Tara Sharp can see auras, and it's ruining her life. When she tries to turn her inconvenient secret into a paying gig, her first job lands her in the middle of a tug of war between the biggest, baddest crime lord in town and the hottest business man Tara has ever met. With only a narcoleptic ex-roadie, her pet galah and a vanilla slice for back up, Tara is ready to take on trouble with a capital 'T'.
Cass is holding down the fort at the Sharp agency. It's a few days before her eighteenth birthday. All's quiet til a distraught girl bursts through the door seeking refuge from her rampaging boyfriend hell bent on wrecking the place. Of course Tara arrives back from holiday to her workplace in chaos and an urgent summons from the bikies to do a job for them. They seem to think she still owes them a favour . . . As usual, all roads lead back to John Viaspa. This time, though, there's also a rival bike gang, and John's cousin Abramo. How can Tara keep the bikie's happy, the young girl safe, and her mother from finding out about the body in the boot of her car? Situation normal. Riotous!
