I've never believed in knights in shining armor. But today, I might finally need one.

I'm a biochemist chasing the impossible—finding a cure for cancer. My breakthrough drug was meant to bring relief and restore strength to patients fighting for their lives. Instead, it's been stolen, twisted, and unleashed as a deadly party drug that's killing teenagers within hours.

Now, a ruthless cartel wants me to fix the formula they botched, and their soldiers will stop at nothing to drag me into their war.

Enter Corey Rosa—tall, dark, infuriatingly dangerous. He's supposed to be my distraction, but somehow he's become my shield, my partner, the one person I can't push away.

I want to make this right. I want to save lives. But time is running out, and if I fail... I'll lose more than my dream. I'll lose Corey too.
