A weary ex-soldier. A doubting heart. And the girl who needs them both.
Ex-Army Ranger Rye Wilder lives by one rule: protect what matters, no matter the cost. So when his old Army buddy, FBI Special Agent Max Prescott, calls in a favor, Rye doesn’t hesitate—even if it means coming face-to-face with the sister Max abandoned, a woman whose photo Rye has never forgotten.
Fiona has spent the last decade building a good life with the carnival, far removed from her brother’s callous desertion. So when Max suddenly resurfaces seeking refuge for a young murder witness, Fi has no problem telling him to pound sand—until he reveals the terrified girl he’s vowed to protect. And despite the wreckage between them, Fi won’t turn her back on a child–even if offering shelter means risking what she’s built.
Because nothing is off the table. Someone inside the Bureau is leaking information. People are dying. And a vicious killer is closing in. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Fi and Rye must outmaneuver a ruthless enemy while navigating the wreckage of old wounds and unexpected desire. To save Max’s young witness, they’ll have to stand together.
And to survive what’s coming, they’ll have to risk everything.
“The pace is fast, the suspense is binding and the characters are bold, forthright and surprising. You will want to finish but the ending doesn’t go away.”
