Maverick Ops operative Kincade Maddox wakes up in a burned-out safe house with no memory of the last twelve hours—and no sign of his missing partner, who is now wanted for a brutal homicide. Deputy Cassidy Prescott finds Kincade injured and confused, and while the evidence points to her brother, neither of them believes he’s guilty. As they dig deeper into a deadly cover-up, it becomes clear that someone powerful is pulling strings to keep the truth buried. With time running out and danger closing in, Kincade and Cassidy must rely on each other to survive. The undeniable connection and heat between them grow into something far stronger, even as every step forward puts them in the crosshairs of a killer. But the biggest threat isn’t coming from outside their circle. It’s coming from within. And uncovering the truth may cost them everything.
