Publisher's Synopsis
In the shadow world of espionage, trust is a luxury she can't afford-and a necessity she can't deny.
Eva Carson thought she'd finally escaped her past when she settled in Cedar Ridge, Montana as a reclusive artist. After years as an elite operative, she craves the quiet anonymity of mountain landscapes and small-town life.
Sheriff Jack Thompson has his own secrets buried beneath his steady gaze and unwavering commitment to the community. When he meets the mysterious newcomer, his instincts tell him she's hiding something-and his heart tells him to find out what.
As Eva's carefully constructed cover begins to unravel, her former handlers close in. The Organization wants her back-or silenced permanently. When Gregory and Mara, ruthless operatives from her past, track her to Cedar Ridge, Eva must decide: run again or make her final stand.
Jack sees beyond her disguise to the woman beneath, offering Eva something more dangerous than any mission: a chance to belong. But when the quiet mountain town becomes a battlefield of crossed loyalties and buried truths, Eva and Jack must forge an alliance built on more than attraction.
In a world where every word could be a code and every touch a betrayal, can two people trained to live in the shadows risk stepping into the light together?
A riveting tale of redemption, resilience, and the ultimate infiltration-love.
