Savannah Cross is an FBI cybercrime analyst who was never meant to be in the field—until the night her own agency turns on her. Framed for murder and hunted by mercenaries wearing federal badges, Savannah is running with the only evidence that can stop a coordinated domestic terror attack. Her last call goes to a shadow organization that doesn’t exist on paper. They send Sawyer “Hawk” Morrison. A Guardian HRS operator with scars burned into his skin and guilt carved just as deep, Sawyer specializes in impossible extractions—and in walking away before anything gets personal. But Savannah isn’t a helpless asset. She fights back with intelligence, nerve, and a lethal creativity that leaves even him stunned. As they race from San Francisco rooftops to a hidden mountain safe house, the danger isn’t just the ticking clock or the enemies closing in—it’s the pull between them.
