Daniel Schwartz never meant to uncover the apocalypse, unfortunately for the Kiwi hacktivist, that’s exactly what happened. Yet while it’s clear to her what she should do; cover it back up and get completely smashed, the rest of the world doesn’t agree. An evil corporation places her in a beach side prison where they promise to hold her until she agrees to talk. Dani would be pretty annoyed if she weren't:

a) Biologically incapable of being annoyed

b) Very intrigued by the men hired to guard her

c) Extremely hungover

John, Colt, and Seb have poured a lot of time and money their private security business the last thing they need is to waste six weeks babysitting a hyperactive hippie. Sadly they’ve signed a shady but watertight contract. Each of the three men finds himself drawn to the weird, pop-obsessed Daniel and she to them. Taunt is a heart-stopping erotic thriller; chock full of science, nail-biting suspense, period jokes and good old fashioned lust.

Seb admires her spirit, Colt appreciates her humor and John enjoys her resilience, though he refuses to admit it. Each man understands that what they feel can never develop into anything more and Daniel, who has never had a boyfriend doesn't even consider the idea. Nevertheless, they four of them begin to form an unconventional bond as they while away the hours by the Californian coast. Daniel finds herself thinking about escape less and less as she enters into a physical relationship with the men, one that is approved of by her corporate overlords. Too late she and the boys discover this is the reason they were brought together; to form bonds that could be exploited in exchange for information. As they face pain and even death together Daniel must make a choice; is she willing to give up everything to save the men she has grown to love or will she continue on her journey to the end of the world alone. As they become entangled in each others lives (and private parts) Daniel is forced to reconsider her theories about love and the future and make a decision that will change everything.
