Dawn to Dusk

Six weeks have passed since Kat and Maksim faced off with the Romanian crime syndicate [Awaken the Dawn]. Now they're lying low in a safe house on the Mediterranean coast. It's paradise, heaven on earth, and the scenery makes a gorgeous backdrop for their passionate new romance.

Except it's not so passionate since Maksim discovered some old contacts in Barcelona—a notorious hacker and her crew of black hats. Suddenly, Maksim is eager to send Kat home. Why? What's he hiding? Kat is determined to find out, but when a misstep in her “investigation” ignites a firestorm, the fallout puts them both on a collision course with the crime syndicate that's been hunting them down.

With nowhere else to turn, they seek refuge in Paris with Maksim’s friend, Dom. Kat is relieved, assuming the worst is over... until a devastating betrayal by Maksim comes to light. As the evidence piles up, Kat is forced to rely on Dom’s kindness and friendship. He’s a silver lining in this storm, and he’s there to help pick up the pieces of her broken heart.

But not everything is what it seems in the City of Light, and Dom has dark secrets of his own. Kat’s intuition, her instincts, even her vivid, foreboding dreams are no match for this game of cat and mouse. The chess pieces are in place. The crime syndicate is closing in. Will Kat wake up to the truth before it's too late?
