Mayhem is the sixth book in the Ravens Nest series and kicks off in Vienna, Austria, at the Lithuanian embassy.
Linguistic expert and Interpol Agent Clara Meadows attends a high-society diplomatic event at the embassy in order to stage a rescue of the defiant and rebellious Crown Princess Sabrina of Luxembourg. The reckless woman had shocked her family and security team by hooking up with her latest toy boy on this foreign soil and severing any outside contact. Desperate and fearing for the worst, her family hires a private security firm, SPNI, to infiltrate and forcefully extract the feisty royal dubbed Princess Mayhem.
A year later, the SPNI team members are hired by Willis & Atkins Construction to provide security during the opening of the self-sustaining Ravens Nest Eco Resort where a three-day symposium on environmental sustainability is being held. Having secured Princess Sabrina, an avid environmentalist, as a guest speaker and patron at the event draws in publicity and many foreign dignitaries.
Meadows is assigned to Sabrina for the event. Having previously met the wildly flirtatious princess during a diplomatic fiasco of international proportions in Vienna, Meadows is not holding her breath that things will go smoothly. Soon, the Interpol agent finds herself in the crosshairs and has to join forces with her friends, Emma Finch and Rohan Rook, and playboy SPNI Agent Gareth Steed to protect the successor of a foreign sovereign state from those intent on harming her.
When Meadows along with the royal security team fall ill, Sabrina fears that she is the target of a coup. She is forced to put her trust in the men that indignantly plucked her from the Lithuanian embassy. This reunites her with a childhood acquaintance, Daniel Wolff, who hid his aristocratic title and lineage from his teammates.
Sabrina soon learns that her angst is not mere paranoia and that a serial killer had been tasked with terminating her.
Daniel Wolff has worked hard to establish himself as a freelance security consultant and team player at SPNI, far removed from his family’s connections and influence. As a ruthless international assassin takes aim, Wolff has to throw caution to the wind and flee with Sabrina to the one place no one will look for her—his family’s remote manor in Northern Ireland—risking exposing parts of his life he had worked hard to keep secret.
SPNI agent Gareth Steed, aka the master of seduction, is trying to change his wild ways. His path again crosses that of the fiery Interpol agent with whom he had collaborated with months earlier.
Ravens Nest veterinarian Jack Foster is pulled into the drama when he is tasked with pretending to be a priest in order to extract a supposed deathbed confession from a suspect, and then travels with Sophia Parker to break out a key witness from a psychiatric facility in Switzerland. Following the conspiracy breadcrumbs, Sophia and Cameron Parker globetrot to the Slovenian countryside to enter the murderer’s lair and collect evidence.
Emma Finch and Rohan Rook provide critical support as the princess flees to Wolff’s ancestral home in Northern Ireland where they brace themselves for a final showdown.
