He never looked back, until the only bridge he needed - was the one he’d burned. Screwed. No other way to describe Ryker “Crow” Ward’s life, because . . . A month after ditching his CIA status - accepting a job with his former Delta Force teammates as part of Wayward Souls - he’s been recalled. Tasked with chasing ghosts and rumors in hopes of preventing a top secret file from falling into the wrong hands. Getting partnered with NSA agent Devlyn Adams - his ex-everything - wasn’t supposed to be part of the package. Not when she’s just as likely to kill him as the man they’re hunting. And, with time ticking down, and multiple agencies trying to permanently silence them, Crow barely has the strength to keep them alive, let alone fight the ever-present attraction to Devlyn threatening to smother him. Devlyn doesn’t want explanations, and Crow can’t blame her. But, if she thinks that’s enough to scare him away, she’s got a hard lesson ahead of her. He’s vowed to find a way to win her back, and failure isn’t an option. Dodging bullets, drones and assassins is the easy part. Convincing Devlyn he’s worth another chance . . . It’s going to take all his skills, and a healthy dose of luck, to complete his mission and stop Devlyn from walking out the door. But he’s determined to make things right between them, even if that means dying to protect the woman he loves.
