Some secrets don't stay buried. Some shadows never let you go.

Sienna has spent years hiding from a past that refuses to die. Once a covert test subject in a classified government experiment, she escaped with the only thing that mattered-her freedom. Now, living under a false name and clinging to a fragile peace, Sienna is forced back into the life she tried to leave behind when an encrypted flash drive exposes everything.

Damien was trained to erase threats, not protect them. But when a contract gone wrong brings him face to face with Sienna-the woman he never stopped watching-he's pulled into a conspiracy far darker than even his employers anticipated. She's not just a former asset. She's the key to unraveling a truth the Organization will kill to keep silent.

Together, they must navigate a world of shadows: hunted by enemies in suits and masks, haunted by memories burned into concrete, and bound by a chemistry neither of them can outrun.
