As the attacks on Ro escalate, everything Brody thought he knew shifts. Before long, this government-sanctioned killer begins to wonder if the one thing missing from his life was right in front of him all along.

And if he and the others can’t find her before the clock runs out, he’ll lose the only woman he’s ever loved.

He knows she’s keeping something from him, and he’s determined to uncover the truth. Not only about who she really is…but also about the man she’s pretending not to hunt.

He rescued her once before. Cade Ellis is used to running head-first into danger. First as an Army Raider, and now, as an operator for one of the country’s most elite private security firms in existence. In all that time, he’s never once developed feelings for a woman he’s helped rescue. Until Kerrigan. The sexy blonde doctor hasn’t left his mind since he and his team saved her and the group she was with back in Mexico. The connection they had was instant and unbending. And now that they’ve reconnected in Chicago, where they both live, Cade is determined to finally go after what he wants most. This time is different. Dr. Kerrigan Rawlins’ trust in men was broken by her ex when she caught him with another woman. But the man who’d once helped save her life is different. Cade is sweet. Kind. He spends his days risking himself to save the lives of others. And when Kerrigan is pulled into a killer’s sinister web, it will take more than guts and an infallible memory to survive. She needs help. She needs…Cade. This time, she’s the woman he loves. Just as these two begin to finally give in to the feelings they’ve both secretly harbored for one another, the serial killer known as the Omega Killer strikes again. He has a new target. A new woman he’s chosen to torture and kill. And when Kerrigan goes missing, it will take Cade, his team, and a few other trusted allies to find her and save her…before it’s too late.
