Ten years ago, an unspeakable tragedy leads Robert Strong down a path that forever alters his life.

Intelligent. Highly skilled. He works for an organization called the Board of World Representatives, whose sole purpose is the preservation of peace—except peace is difficult to come by these days, especially for the BWR's founding members. When another member is found dead in his apartment, the BWR sends Robert to take point on the investigation.

Enter his prime and only suspect, a mysterious woman named Natalie Hayden. She's beautiful. She's savvy—and she's guilty of both murders. But she knows a deep, dark truth about the BWR, and Robert soon realizes the past ten years have been a lie.

Now deemed fugitives, Robert and Natalie become allies as they work to overcome a mutual threat. They learn to trust one another, forging a deep bond that ultimately leads to an unexpected discovery.

Can they rise up to defeat their enemies, or will it lead to their downfalls?
