When a brilliant hacker infiltrates a ruthless mob operative's house with murder on her mind, she has no idea they're connected by a mystery that's haunted them both for two decades. Tristan Caine is a lethal anomaly in the underworld—a man of unmatched skill but murky morals—and Morana Vitalio is his rival family's secret weapon, a genius who can dismantle empires from behind a screen. Their collision is explosive, fueled by hate, heat, and the complicated history between them, but when a darkness far more sinister emerges from the shadows of their world, they have to decide if they can trust each other enough to fight it. This is a dark, intense romance that proves sometimes your greatest enemy might be exactly who you need.
