When Dev finds an unconscious, battered woman with no memory and dangerous secrets, he's forced to choose between duty and the pull of something far stronger—a connection that defies everything his protective instincts demand. Katya doesn't know who she is, but she knows she's lethal, and as fragmented memories surface, she's terrified she might be programmed to destroy the one man offering her a lifeline. Their relationship crackles with tension as they navigate a minefield of trust and betrayal, where letting her in could cost Dev everything, but letting her go might break them both. Singh masterfully weaves together high-stakes danger and an achingly intimate romance that'll have you questioning who's really in control of this game.
