About the book
She was supposed to be his. Then the enemy took her — leverage to control her brother's quantum breakthrough.
Walt is an elite Guardian operative who never fails a mission. The night he planned to claim sweet, innocent Malia as his own, armed men ripped her away — taken as leverage to force her genius brother to build a quantum device that could change the world... or destroy it. Now, healing from the bullets he took trying to protect her, Walt will stop at nothing to get her back.
Trapped in a remote facility with other captive families, Malia fights to hold onto hope while her brother is forced to work. Her only comfort is knowing Walt survived. Her only prayer is that he finds her before it's too late.
Then the countdown starts. Unstable containment fields. Quantum reactions spiraling toward catastrophe. Walt and Charlie Team must breach an impenetrable fortress, rescue the woman he's claimed as his, and stop a scientific breakthrough from becoming a weapon of mass destruction — before he loses Malia forever.
Possessive alpha devotion. Edge-of-your-seat danger. A steamy age-gap romance that proves even quantum physics is no match for fated love.
