Savvy, rich, and lethal, Quaid Daniels has spent years maintaining his playboy image while hiding who he really is—a Marine, a spy, and the man who runs QM International Security from the shadows. Then someone tries to kill him.

 

Rescuing Quaid from close fire is instinct for FBI Agent Alanna Williams. Once a homeless girl stalked by a monster, she is now the one who hunts. But when the assassin resurfaces, Alanna knows the truth. This isn’t Quaid’s war. It’s hers…from the past.

 

During the manhunt for the killer, Quaid becomes the partner she never expected and the one man she needs on her side. But loving him puts them both in the crosshairs and forces Quaid to protect the mask she’s built to survive and trust the woman beneath it.

 

The enemy has brought the battle full circle. This time, Alanna won’t stand alone. Together they’ll risk everything—for justice, for survival, and for a love neither of them saw coming.
