A Mission Gone Awry. A Woman on the Run. A Spark They Can't Ignore.

Alec Brodie thought his undercover mission in Belize would be routine: snap photos, gather intel, and disappear. But when his path crosses with Lydia and her niece, Casey, everything changes. Desperate and hunted by multiple enemies—including a powerful human trafficking ring and a shadowy Russian scientist—Lydia's only hope lies in trusting Alec, a man who isn't what he seems.

Forced to flee together, Alec must protect them while grappling with secrets from his past, the weight of his own mission, and an unexpected attraction to Lydia. As danger closes in, Alec and Lydia find themselves entangled in a web of deceit, peril, and a connection neither of them saw coming.

Will Alec's skills be enough to keep them alive, or will their enemies catch up before they find safety? And in the heat of survival, can two hearts bruised by their own demons learn to trust and heal?
