The city is suffocating—terrorists lurking in every corner, and danger always just a breath away. As an emergency response specialist, I've seen the worst, but nothing chills me like Kareem Ali. A security consultant with a dark past, his presence is like a shadow I can't escape. The weight of his secrets hangs between us, and it draws me in, against every instinct telling me to stay away.

When the bombings start, ripping through the city with terrifying precision, we're forced together in a covert operation that feels as dangerous as it is inevitable. Every mission pulls us deeper into a web of lies, manipulation, and violence. The tension between us builds, every touch and glance an invitation to something forbidden.

He's a storm in human form—intense, unpredictable, and irresistible. And as much as I try to resist, the more I find myself drowning in the pull of his darkness. The lines between duty and desire blur as we work side by side, and I know the risks. But when you're already living on the edge, what's a little more danger?

In this world of constant terror, the real threat might not be the enemies we're hunting. It might be the darkness we're both holding inside, the fire between us that could consume us long before the terrorists ever do.
