When Skye faked her own death to protect the only man she's ever loved, she thought she was making the ultimate sacrifice—but a dangerous cartel operation pulls her back into the field, and straight back into Colt's life before she can explain herself. Now a former Marine turned protector, Colt is torn between feeling devastated by her deception and driven by an all-consuming need to keep her alive, no matter what laws he has to break in the process. As they're forced to work together against ruthless enemies who'll stop at nothing to destroy them both, the intensity between them reignites in ways neither of them expected. This is the start of a thrilling new series where second chances burn as hot as the gunfire, and love might just be worth the cost.
Reading soundtrack
Dark intensity meets electric tension—gritty indie rock, moody R&B, and brooding alternative vibes. Capture the dangerous pull of forbidden desire, the weight of secrets unraveling, and the raw desperation of protecting what you'd sacrifice everything for. Think smoky nights and reckless choices.
