They both have secrets. Hers could get them killed. His could save them—if she lets him close enough to find out.
Border Force operative, Jewel ‘Whisper’ Wagner, never backs down from danger, but her attempt to rescue her reckless younger brother from a deadly crime underworld backfires when she is captured.
Brooding farmer Cody Mitchell carries the invisible scars of his fathers shocking crimes. Working on his uncles sprawling farm is his only solace—until he finds a woman bound and gagged in the barn, and her terror is a chilling echo from his childhood.
Risking everything, Cody fights to free Whisper, and together they flee into the heart of the Daintree Forest—the same unforgiving wilderness where his father vanished. Whisper is torn between her loyalty to her criminal brother and the rugged stranger who risked his life for her. Cody is desperate to earn her trust, but he can never outrun his own familys legacy of betrayal.
Hunted by the underworld and Codys vengeful uncle, their only hope is to rely on each other for survival. But they discover the line between trust and betrayal can be razor-thin. And in this deadly chase, the secrets they guard—and the unexpected love that burns between them—could be their salvation or their downfall.
Will their growing bond be strong enough to overcome the shadows of betrayal, or will family loyalties tear them apart forever?
