About the book
An FBI cyber analyst framed for murder. A Guardian operator sent to get her out alive.
Savannah Cross is an FBI cybercrime analyst who was never meant to be in the field — until the night her own agency turns on her. Framed for murder, hunted by mercenaries wearing federal badges, she's running with the only evidence that can stop a coordinated domestic terror attack.
Her last call goes to a shadow organization that doesn't exist on paper. They send Sawyer "Hawk" Morrison.
A Guardian HRS operator with scars burned into his skin and guilt carved just as deep, Hawk specializes in impossible extractions — and in walking away before anything turns personal. But Savannah isn't a helpless asset. She fights back with intelligence, nerve, and a lethal creativity that leaves even him stunned.
From San Francisco rooftops to a hidden mountain safe house, the threat isn't only the ticking clock or the enemies closing in. It's the pull between them — the kind that ignites under pressure and doesn't ask permission.
She's brilliant, hunted, and carrying secrets that could collapse a nation. He's lethal, controlled, and sworn to protect her at any cost. And when trust becomes the most dangerous weapon of all, desire may be the one thing neither can afford.
