Chloe Anderson built her career exposing powerful people who believed they were untouchable.
Her newest investigation begins with a simple anonymous tip about political corruption inside Chicago City Hall.
It ends with a kidnapping.
The man responsible is Adrian Moretti—the feared head of one of America's oldest mafia families.
To the world, Adrian is a criminal.
To Chloe, he's the man who destroyed her life.
But Adrian isn't trying to silence her.
He's trying to keep her alive.
Someone has already infiltrated the government, the police, and the media. Chloe's investigation has uncovered evidence of Silver Circle, a secret political organization that has manipulated elections, assassinated public officials, and used organized crime as its private army for more than forty years.
Now everyone who has seen the evidence is being hunted.
Forced to live under Adrian's protection, Chloe struggles to separate the ruthless mafia boss from the man who quietly risks everything to keep her safe.
Every day together chips away at the hatred she has carried for years.
Every secret Adrian reveals forces Chloe to question everything she once believed.
But the greatest betrayal comes from the last person she ever suspected.
Her younger brother has been working for Silver Circle all along.
To expose the conspiracy, Chloe and Adrian must destroy the organization controlling the city from the shadows.
If they fail, thousands will die.
If they succeed, neither of them may survive long enough to enjoy their freedom.
Sometimes love is forged by trust.
Sometimes it is forged by the chains that refuse to let you go.
