FROM THE MOMENT HE SAW HER, HE WANTED HER.
THE ONLY PROBLEM WAS, SO DID SOMEONE ELSE.

NOAH WILDE
I've spent the last eight years working hard for the position I hold in our company, leaving little time to focus on play, but all of that is about to change.

Wearing a tray full of spilled coffee isn't how I imagined I'd ever run into someone like Hazel and now, she's all I think about. She has a quick wit and an innocent heart and I'm instantly intrigued.

She thinks I'm playing around but I'm going for keeps and I'm not the only one. Something isn't right and every step we take forward is met with a step back.

Someone is trying to sabotage our connection and I need to get to the bottom of it before I lose her forever.

HAZEL MASTERS
After high school, my life went on without me while I lost almost everything I held dear.

I put my future on hold to help my mother care for my dying father and watched, helplessly, as he lost his business then his home to those with deeper pockets than his, before he lost his life.

Now, I am working hard to get back on track and help my mom build ourselves up to a comfortable life when I bump into a mysterious stranger—literally. Our first meeting is a disaster and he ends up leaving me with more questions than answers when he only offers me his first initial—N.

I should focus on my classes. I should search for stability. I can't afford to play games with my second shot at having a life. The lessons of my past are screaming at me to walk away.

So why can't I?

When a hacker on the run is captured after 10 years, she has no choice but to recover the code she needs to stop an obsessed madman who has been hunting her but it is hidden in the one place she can't hack into, her own mind.

Hunted from both sides of the law, Jessa is a hacker in hiding in this chilling action-packed thriller that starts on the first page and never lets up. As secrets and missing memories slowly surface, not everyone will end up on the same side they started on.

Years of hiding taught Jessa to trust no one. Left to fend for herself after a violent attack a decade earlier killed her family, she’s resorted to working highly illegal hacking contracts. But when she is captured by the man she thought had vanished, Jessa fears her former ally may have betrayed her.

Special Operations Agent Jack never got over the death of the woman he loved while working undercover. Horrified to learn she survived only to endure brutal torture at the hands of a vicious criminal mastermind, he worries he won’t regain her confidence. But with a deadly rival closing in, the determined operative will have to pull out all the stops to protect her from more heartless violence.

Backed into a corner, Jessa is forced to place her faith in Jack to help her recover the suppressed memories key to nailing their mutual adversary. But with her deeply ingrained trauma, Jack fears it could cost her what’s left of her sanity when the fine line between justice and vengeance blurs.

Will the damaged pair rise above a chasm of torment to take down a ruthless monster?
