A buried past. A dangerous mission. A conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of Washington.

Ava Monroe has spent years keeping her secrets locked away. As an elite agent tangled in a growing web of espionage, the last thing she wants is her past dragged into the light. But when a shadowy puppetmaster begins orchestrating attacks from behind the scenes, staying hidden is no longer an option.

Former Army Ranger Shane Steele is a master at disappearing into any role, any crowd, any operation. Cool under pressure and fiercely protective, he’s the perfect man to help Ava infiltrate Washington’s powerful inner circles and uncover the truth.

But in a city built on secrets, trust is a deadly risk.

As betrayals mount and enemies close in, Ava and Shane find themselves caught between duty and the undeniable pull growing between them. With lives, hearts, and national security on the line, one wrong move could destroy everything.

Can they expose the mastermind before the conspiracy consumes them both?
