Tracking Mira Pierce was meant to be nothing more than another job.
She tried to vanish behind false names and small towns, yet he found her anyway.
Mira is tangled in a mess far larger than she understands, and she fights his attempt to drag her home as if every secret she carries depends on escape.
Her defiance stirs something dark and possessive in him, wearing down the cold control he has always relied on.
The longer they stay together, the clearer it becomes that she is no longer a job but an obsession.
He cannot lose her, but choosing her over the duty that protects innocent lives may cost him everything.
